I am currently working with a soap service that utilizes message contracts. According to the rules of message contracts, both the request and response messages must be objects. Message contracts are essential for me because they provide complete control over the request/response body.
It is not possible to define a message contract endpoint like this: public Object getData(int id) (as far as my understanding goes).
To address this issue, I created an object to parse the incoming value:
[MessageContract]
public class Value
{
[MessageBodyMember]
public string id {get; set;}
}
With the updated endpoint public Object getData(Value id), I am able to successfully interact with the soap client using following code: client.getData({"id":"123"}, (error,response) => {...})
However, I also need to be able to call the soap service from soap.js using this syntax: client.getData({id}, (error,response) => {...}). Unfortunately, when I attempt this, the incoming value is not recognized.
The fact that changing the implementation of the code utilizing the soap client is not an option for me arises from the fact that it originates from a private npm package that I would prefer not to modify. Additionally, the package could potentially receive updates at any time. Nevertheless, I have full control over the soap service.
My ultimate question is: how can I implement the soap service in such a way that it will recognize whatever value is sent over, while still adhering to message contracts?
