Setting SOAP Version with node-soap. - node.js

Question

I'm using this npm-module: https://github.com/vpulim/node-soap
The webservice I want to consume is only using SOAP 1.2 and returns a server error on using any other SOAP version.
Has someone experienced the same problem and knows how to set the SOAP version?

Answer 1

With latest version of https://github.com/vpulim/node-soap, there is option to set SOAP 1.2 header
var options = {
forceSoap12Headers: true
};
soap.createClient(url,options, function (err, client) {
//Your soap call here
});
IMO, I dont think we should modify the lib, not good for upgrade

Answer 2

I have solved the issue changing as NicolasZ said, my current soap/lib/client.js is:
line 187:
xml = "<soap:Envelope " +
//"xmlns:soap=\"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/\" " +
"xmlns:soap=\"http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope\" " +
"xmlns:xsi=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance\" " +
encoding +
this.wsdl.xmlnsInEnvelope + '>' +
((self.soapHeaders || self.security) ?
(
"<soap:Header>" +
(self.soapHeaders ? self.soapHeaders.join("\n") : "") +
(self.security ? self.security.toXML() : "") +
"</soap:Header>"
)
:
''
) +
"<soap:Body" +
(self.bodyAttributes ? self.bodyAttributes.join(' ') : '') +
">" +
message +
"</soap:Body>" +
"</soap:Envelope>";

Answer 3

You could go into soap\lib\client.js to the line 186 and modify the envelope syntaxis so it is compliant with soap 1.2:
//modify this with the envelope used by soap1.2:
xml = "<soap:Envelope " +
"xmlns:soap=\"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/\" " +
'xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"' +
'xmlns:ns2="http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap"' +
"xmlns:xsi=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance\" " +
encoding +
this.wsdl.xmlnsInEnvelope + '>' +
//until here
((self.soapHeaders || self.security) ?
(
"<soap:Header>" +
(self.soapHeaders ? self.soapHeaders.join("\n") : "") +
(self.security ? self.security.toXML() : "") +
"</soap:Header>"
)
:
''
) +
"<soap:Body" +
(self.bodyAttributes ? self.bodyAttributes.join(' ') : '') +
">" +
message +
"</soap:Body>" +
"</soap:Envelope>";
