Parsing response with promise about jquery.soap HOT 7 CLOSED

It took me a while to get my mind wrapped around this one, but I do understand now...
The SOAPResponse object is only available within the success and error functions of the $.soap options. When using promises you get back (data, textStatus, jqXHR) so you need to do something like:

// untested code:
contactService.findContacts()
    .done(function(data, textStatus, jqXHR) {
        console.log($.parseXML(data).firstChild);
    });

Hope this helps...

Thanks @doedje,

This is what i'm doing now to get SOAP result as JSON

contactService.findContacts()
  .done(function(data, textStatus, jqXHR) {
    // TODO use JsonPath to avoid using multiple firstChild
    // Depth = data(document).firstChild(Soap:Envelope).firstChild(Soap:Body).firstChild(Soap:Body).firstChild(Soap:Response)
    var jsonResponse = $.xml2json(data.firstChild.firstChild.firstChild);
    console.log(jsonResponse.GetContactsResponse.ListContacts);
  });

Very ugly, specially when I make multiple calls of firstChild to get the response ...

You could also use jquery to parse the XML.
With the following SOAPResonse:

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
    <soap:Body>
        <ns:return xmlns:ns="http://localhost/">
            <ns:status>STATUS_OK</ns:status>
            <ns:message>FAKE SOAP RESPONSE!</ns:message>
        </ns:return>
    </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

You could do like this:

contactService.findContacts()
  .done(function(data, textStatus, jqXHR) {
    console.log($(data).find('ns\\:status').text());
  });

In your case:

   var jsonResponse = $.xml2json($(data).find('GetContactsResponse').html());

Just to let you know! Good luck with coding!

This is old, but looking at how SoapResponse does it, it's using the xhr response instead of data, not sure if that makes any difference

var SOAPResponse = function(status, xhr) {
        this.typeOf = "SOAPResponse";
        this.status = status;
        this.headers = xhr.getAllResponseHeaders().split('\n');
        this.httpCode = xhr.status;
        this.httpText = xhr.statusText;
        this.content = (xhr.responseXML === undefined) ? xhr.responseText : xhr.responseXML;
        this.toString = function(){
            if (typeof this.content === 'string') {
                return this.content;
            }
            if ($.isXMLDoc(this.content)) {
                return SOAPTool.dom2string(this.content);
            }
            throw new Error("Unexpected Content: " + $.type(this.content));
        };
        this.toXML = function(){
            if ($.isXMLDoc(this.content)) {
                return this.content;
            }
            return $.parseXML(this.content);
        };
        this.toJSON = function(){
            if ($.xml2json) {
                return $.xml2json(this.content);
            }
            warn("jQuery.soap: Missing JQuery Plugin 'xml2json'");
        };
    };

the difference is this: you can either use the success option or the promise function .done to deal with the response, just a matter of personal preference I guess:

$.soap({
  // blah, blah, all kind of options here... like url, data, etc...
  success: function(SOAPResponse) {
    // here you get back the SOAPResponse object you copied above
    // with it's properties and functions, like toJSON() for instance...
    console.log(SOAPResponse.toJSON());
  }
});

the OP of this issue wanted to use the Promise returned by $.soap, which is basically the one that is returned by $.ajax:

$.soap({
  // blah, blah, all kind of options here... like url, data, etc...
}).done(function(data, textStatus, jqXHR) {
  // here you get back `data, textStatus, jqXHR` so you can do:
  console.log(data);
});

Hope that clears the confusion a bit....

I think you misunderstood. I was referring to the difference between:

$.xml2json(data);

vs

var content = (xhr.responseXML === undefined) ? xhr.responseText : xhr.responseXML;
$.xml2json(content);

from jquery.soap.

Ah I see, I misunderstood indeed, I thought your question was somehow related to this issue, but if it does I don't understand how...

But the difference is unclear to me. $.soap is open source project with a handful of people collaborating to it in the past years. This got introduced at some point around the 0.10.0 version by Zach if I recall this correctly, I hope it was for the best.... =]
