Example soapUI message

In the preceding paragraph the parameters of the VisionReference are listed. The values of these parameters are used by Futurama to compose an XML-message. With soapUI it is possible to see the responses depending on the values of the parameters. Below you find an example of an XML-message. This example can be used in your soapUI project to test the connection with Vision and to see the response for a certain combination of parameters.

<s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
	<s:Header>
		<Futurama path="\\servername\path\futurama" version="1.0" xmlns="http://www.actuit.nl/futurama/vision/service/header/1.0"/>
		<Document path="\\servername\path\data.xml" version="1.0" xmlns="http://www.actuit.nl/futurama/vision/service/header/1.0"/>
	</s:Header>
	<s:Body>
		<Request method="GetDataItem" version="1.0" module="DataStore" xmlns="http://www.actuit.nl/futurama/vision/service/request/1.0">
			<Parameter name="DataItemID" value="6" type="System.Int32"/>
		</Request>
	</s:Body>
</s:Envelope>

Within the Header element you find an element 'Document' and an element 'Futurama'. For these elements you have to fill in the path of the Document and the Futurama respectively you also configured in the Apps and Futuramas tab of the Vision Management Site. Within the Request element you find the parameters for this VisionReference. By changing the values of these parameters you can execute different webservice calls.
