Option 1: Using AEM Workflows

1. Create a Workflow with SOAP Endpoint

• Navigate to Tools > Workflow > Models in the AEM UI.
• Create a new workflow or modify an existing one.
• Add the "Forms SOAP Endpoint" step to your workflow.

2. Configure the SOAP Endpoint

• In the Workflow Editor, click the "Forms SOAP Endpoint" step and configure:
  • WSDL URL: Provide the WSDL of the SOAP service.
  • SOAP Operation: Select the operation to invoke.
  • Input Parameters: Map the required input values for the service.
  • Authentication: If required, provide credentials for the SOAP service.

3. Test the Workflow

• Trigger the workflow and verify that the SOAP service is invoked successfully.
• Use the Workflow console to debug any issues.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

Option 2: Using Form Data Models

1. Create a Form Data Model

• Go to AEM Forms > Data Integrations.
• Create a new Form Data Model and select "SOAP Web Service" as the data source.

2. Configure the SOAP Service

• Provide the WSDL URL of the SOAP service.
• Select the desired SOAP operations to be exposed in the data model.

3. Bind the Form Data Model to an Adaptive Form

• Create or edit an Adaptive Form in AEM.
• Bind fields in the form to the SOAP operations exposed via the Form Data Model.

4. Submit and Test

• When the form is submitted, the SOAP operation is invoked automatically with the mapped data.
