Using Web Service Calls as XML

In addition to opening a Web service call in the Web Service Call Composer for testing purposes, you can open a Web service call as an XML document anywhere in Stylus Studio - in the XML editor, or as a source document in the XQuery mapper for example. When you open a Web service call as an XML document, Stylus Studio automatically executes the SOAP request and displays the SOAP response.

Consider the following Web service call, stock.wsc. The Web service operation used in this example returns current stock quote and other information based on the ticker symbols provided as parameters. Here is the SOAP request composed by Stylus Studio:

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAPSDK1="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"

			<s0:QuoteTicker>prgs</s0:QuoteTicker>
		</s0:GetStockQuotes>
	</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

	<soap:Body>
