Output SOAP Event Adapter

Output SOAP event adapter is an internal event adapter, which comes with WSO2 products. It sends SOAP events over Thrift using  HTTP and HTTPS to external servers, which can receive XML messages.

Configuring output SOAP event adapter

You can configure output SOAP event adapter using the management console or using a configuration file.

    <outputEventAdaptor name="soapOutputEventAdaptor" statistics="disable"
    trace="disable" type="soap" xmlns="http://wso2.org/carbon/eventadaptormanager"/>
  2. Add the XML file to the <PRODUCT_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/outputeventadaptors/ directory. Since hot deployment is supported in the product, you can simply add/remove output event adapter configuration files to deploy/undeploy output event adapters to/from the server.

After an adapter is successfully added, it gets added to the list of adapters displayed under Event Processor Configs in the Configure menu of the product's management console. Click Edit to change its configuration and redeploy it. This opens an XML-based editor allowing you to edit the event adapter configurations from the UI.  Do your modifications and click  Update . You can also delete it, enable/disable statistics or enable/disable tracing on it using the provided options in the UI.
