[esb-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Closed: (JBESB-2453) soapUI SOAP client: Remove "empty" elements

soapUI SOAP client: Remove "empty" elements ------------------------------------------- Key: JBESB-2453 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBESB-2453 Project: JBoss ESB Issue Type: Feature Request Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: Web Services Affects Versions: 4.5 Reporter: Tom Fennelly Fix For: 4.x This is a contribution from Kurt Stam. This is a mod to SoapUIClientService that automatically removes elements for which there are no values in the supplied data model. As Kurt pointed out... we may need to make it more configurable e.g. turn it off by default... add some control of which message elements are removed when empty etc. The change was to the injectParameters() method: private void injectParameters(Element element, Map params, String soapNs) { NodeList children = element.getChildNodes(); int childCount = children.getLength(); for (int i = 0; i < childCount; i++) { Node node = children.item(i); if (childCount == 1 && node.getNodeType() == Node.TEXT_NODE) { if (node.getTextContent().equals("?")) { String ognl = OGNLUtils.getOGNLExpression(element, soapNs); Object param; param = OGNLUtils.getParameter(ognl, params); element.removeChild(node); if (! "".equals(param)) { element.appendChild(element.getOwnerDocument().createTextNode(param.toString())); } else { element.getParentNode().removeChild(element); } } } else if (node!=null && node.getNodeType() == Node.ELEMENT_NODE) { injectParameters((Element) node, params, soapNs); } } element.removeAttributeNS(OGNLUtils.JBOSSESB_SOAP_NS, IS_CLONE_ATTRIB); element.removeAttributeNS(OGNLUtils.JBOSSESB_SOAP_NS, OGNLUtils.OGNL_ATTRIB); }
