Hi I’m using webservice connector to onboard an application. My question is can we directly map the result to schema from before rule??
in before rule you dont have the result. In this rule the operation was not performed, so you can manage the result.
Hi @pradeepireddy_123 ,
When using a webservice connector to onboard an application, you typically need to process the data before mapping it to the schema. The “before rule” is often used to validate the data before it gets mapped. Directly mapping the result to the schema without any preprocessing might lead to issues if the data doesn’t match the expected format or if there are any inconsistencies.
However, if your data is already in the correct format and meets all the schema requirements, you might be able to map it directly.
Thank you!
I have alredy preprocessed the data in before ruleitself now I want to map it directly from before rule. Could you please provide me the sample code to map using before rule? This is how I preprocessed the response // Capture the second SOAP response
InputStream readResponseStream = readConnection.getInputStream();
ByteArrayOutputStream readBuffer = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
byte readTempBuffer = new byte[1024];
int readBytesRead;
while ((readBytesRead = readResponseStream.read(readTempBuffer)) != -1) {
readBuffer.write(readTempBuffer, 0, readBytesRead);
}
String readResponse = new String(readBuffer.toByteArray(), StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
// Parse the second SOAP response to extract IDs, PrimaryPartnerCode, and RoleNames
Document secondDocument = builder.parse(new ByteArrayInputStream(readResponse.getBytes("UTF-8")));
NodeList userNodes = secondDocument.getElementsByTagNameNS("*", "User");
ArrayList<Map> processedResponseList2 = new ArrayList();
ArrayList storedIds = new ArrayList(); // To store extracted 'ID' values
// Process all <User> elements
int maxUsers = userNodes.getLength();
for (int i = 0; i < maxUsers; i++) {
Node userNode = userNodes.item(i);
if (userNode != null) {
// Extract 'ID', 'PrimaryPartnerCode', and 'RoleNames' by navigating the DOM directly
String id = null;
String primaryPartnerCode = null;
ArrayList roles = new ArrayList();
NodeList childNodes = userNode.getChildNodes();
for (int j = 0; j < childNodes.getLength(); j++) {
Node child = childNodes.item(j);
if (child.getNodeType() == Node.ELEMENT_NODE) {
String localName = child.getLocalName();
if ("ID".equals(localName)) {
id = child.getTextContent();
storedIds.add(id); // Store the extracted 'ID'
} else if ("PrimaryPartnerCode".equals(localName)) {
primaryPartnerCode = child.getTextContent();
} else if ("RoleNames".equals(localName)) {
// Handle role names
NodeList roleNodes = child.getChildNodes();
for (int k = 0; k < roleNodes.getLength(); k++) {
Node roleNode = roleNodes.item(k);
if (roleNode.getNodeType() == Node.ELEMENT_NODE && "string".equals(roleNode.getLocalName())) {
roles.add(roleNode.getTextContent());
}
}
}
}
}
// Create a map to hold the extracted data for this user
Map userData = new HashMap();
userData.put("ID", id);
userData.put("PrimaryPartnerCode", primaryPartnerCode);
userData.put("RoleNames", roles);
// Add the user data map to the processed response list
processedResponseList2.add(userData);
}
}
// Merge the first and second responses based on ID
for (Map firstResponseData : processedResponseList) {
String id = firstResponseData.get("ID");
for (Map secondResponseData : processedResponseList2) {
if (secondResponseData.get("ID").equals(id)) {
firstResponseData.putAll(secondResponseData); // Merge the second response data into the first
break;
}
}
}
// Final combined data is in 'processedResponseList'
log.debug("Final combined response list: " + processedResponseList);
updatedMapInfo.put("data", processedResponseList);
return updatedMapInfo;
} catch (Exception e) {
log.error(“Error processing SOAP requests”, e);
}
If i understand what you are trying to achieve, to map the response from a before operation rule directly to the result of the operation is not something that can be achieved. The connector is going to execute the operation and use the result response from it.
If possible, could you perhaps provide some insight on the use case for this?
Thanks,
