Martini Generating Services when Consuming SOAP APIs

Martini's graphical interface streamlines the creation of services from SOAP web services. Follow these steps to generate services in Martini from a SOAP WSDL.

Importing a SOAP WSDL

  1. Navigate to the Consume API Interface: In Martini, open the Navigator view.

  2. Start the Consume API Wizard: Right-click on your target package and select “New | Consume API” from the context menu to launch the Consume an API wizard.

  3. Complete the Required Values:

  4. Location: Browse to the directory within your package where you would like your generated services saved.

  5. Source: Select WSDL/Web Service

  6. File/URL: Provide the file path or enter the URL for the WSDL.

  7. Optional Settings: To track events in the Tracker Transaction log, check "Log requests to Tracker." Note that logging to the Tracker may add overhead and consume additional database resources.

  8. Complete the Import: Click “Consume” to generate services from the WSDL. Martini will generate a service for each operation defined in the API specification, saving them to the specified directory.

Post-Generation Steps

After generating the services, you may need to take additional steps:

  • Customize Generated Services: Review the autogenerated service components and customize queries, mutations, or subscriptions as needed to suit your business logic.
  • Test Services: Invoke the generated services and ensure they interact with the SOAP API as expected.
  • Secure the Services: If your SOAP API requires authentication, ensure that the necessary headers or tokens are configured in the authentication service inputs.
