Consume SOAP webservice using jQuery

Question

I have a SOAP web service in Java which needs to be called from an HTML page using jQuery. Can somebody tell me how to do that? I am new to it.

Solution 1

A quick google search reveals that there is a jquery plugin for this:

http://plugins.jquery.com/project/jqSOAPClient

Download, examples and further information available from this link.

Solution 2

there is a relatively new plugin available:

http://plugins.jquery.com/soap/

I forked the project, and have been working on some modifications (the plugin did not handle the service I was working with). I hope to get my updates merged at some point, but would be happy to have any feedback.

+1 for NOT formatting your code - at least make the OP work a little for 'plz send teh codez' (BTW, I have no idea if this even works, but the upvote still seems warranted)

I guess this is a request to REST web service. fo rme i have a java SOAP webservice.

Annoyingly, you're right -- the links on that page seem to all be broken. Grr. Not even a functional download link. I should have checked that before posting. This link might help you - it looks like it contains the original source code (plus a bit extra on top): plugins.jquery.com/files/jquery.soapRequest.js.txt

Uhh... no. This isn't a SOAP request, it's a JSON request. If you wire this code to a SOAP service, it will fail. -1

[Richard]

This is a link that goes to code that services JSON requests. It's not useful and doesn't answer the question.

jquery.com has changed their URLs. Now the project link is: http://plugins.jquery.com/soap/. +1 for the only solution here that actually works.
