Convert Soap XML response to Object

Question

i\'m new to working with SOAP API\'s

I have a soap response from an API

Answer 1

IMO, you should consider using tools to handle SOAP messages instead of doing it on your own.

Examples :

• Java EE 5 Tutorial : Creating a Simple Web Service and Client with JAX-WS
• Spring Boot : Consuming a SOAP message

EDIT

There's a few things to say about your comment so I'll put my answer here.

First,

I have nothing to do with the API, all I do is make a POST request...

You have nothing to do with the API but you make a POST request to the API. I think this is a figure of speech, right ?...

and there's no wsdl....

You can almost always get the WSDL of a SOAP webservice with this little trick. Just add ?wsdl at the end of the SOAP webservice URL.

Example :

Here's the URL of a SOAP webservice on the web (a real one) : http://www.webservicex.com/stockquote.asmx

You can get its WSDL like this : http://www.webservicex.com/stockquote.asmx?wsdl

So the only option is to parse the response

IMO, there's almost always more than one solution to a problem in software development.
