Sending SOAP message and receiving JSON

[fmatar]

I can successfully send a SOAP message over a java client and get the response. Now let's say I need to receive a JSON response, what would be the approach?

My client looks like this:

SOAPConnection soapConnection = SOAPConnectionFactory.newInstance().createConnection();
        MessageFactory messageFactory = MessageFactory.newInstance();

        // Create a message from the message factory.
        SOAPMessage soapMessage = messageFactory.createMessage();

       //build soap message and add format attribute and set it to JS in the message
        soapMessage.saveChanges();
        URLEndpoint endpoint = new URLEndpoint("https://zimbra-box:7071/service/admin/soap");
         
        SOAPMessage reply = soapConnection.call(soapMessage, endpoint);

        //Modify this part to return a JSON string

Any hints or suggestions?

you have to put a 'format' element in the SOAP header part, such as the XML results in:

<soap:Envelope ...>
<soap:Header>
...
<format type='js' />
</soap:Header>
...
</soap:Envelope>

No that doesn't work, you can't receive a JSON string as SOAP message
