What are the elements of a SOAP message in Salesforce?

Hi Sanjana,

A SOAP message is an ordinary XML document containing the following elements:

1. An Envelope element that identifies the XML document as a SOAP message
2. A Header element that contains header information
3. Body element that contains call and response information
4. A Fault element containing errors and status information

Thanks.

Hi,

Here's the code to send SOAP message in Salesforce:

Http h = new Http();

HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest();

req.setMethod('POST');

req.setHeader('Accept-Encoding','gzip,deflate');

req.setHeader('Content-Type','text/xml;charset=UTF-8');

req.setHeader('SOAPAction', URL);

req.setHeader('User-Agent','Jakarta Commons-HttpClient/3.1');

Blob headerValue = Blob.valueOf(USERNAME + ':' + PASSWORD);

String authorizationHeader = 'BASIC ' + EncodingUtil.base64Encode(headerValue);

req.setHeader('Authorization', authorizationHeader);

req.setEndpoint(CustomerCheck__c.getAll().get('endpoint').value__c);

String requestString = '<<SOAP MESSAGE>>';

req.setHeader('Content-Length',String.valueOf(requestString.length()));

req.setBody(requestString);

h.send(req);

Thanks.
