FAQ
Question | Response |
|---|---|
I can find the attached document in the SOAP Response | The document is transmitted using SOAP with Attachment ( SWA ) and it's part of the MIME part of the message. Most JAVA libraries can handle SWA without problem. |
There are no URL to test the service defined on this page | The URLs exposing the service implementation are defined by the integrators, please contact yours. |
Do you support REST | No, only SOAP. |
Can you review my code? | No, we don't have the resource to review code. We can help you in case of integration issues but it's on a best effort only. |
Do the different integrators expose the same WSDL | In 99.9% it's the same WSDL. The most differences are related to WS-Security policies implemented and enforced by the integrators. |
Do you provide test cases? | Yes, but it's not part of this document. Test cases are provided with the integrators on-boarding kit. |
