Hello to all,

Right now I am testing Drools Execution Server 5.1.1
I already made it work with Jboss and ran the test using the restful interface (I used the Poster firefox extension).

Now I was checking if I could create a SOAP Service.  On the documentation is not even mentioned [1] . So I kept looking. On the Weblog of Lucas Amador, I found this article[2] (it was written some months ago but compared to the documentation it looks updated) and it says:

"If you want to have SOAP support, you need to create your custom Drools Policy." (Whathever that means).

However, I see some example of Soap endpoint  "out-of-the-box" in this post of Salaboy [3]. I tried to reproduce those configuration but I failed to do so because it  on the webpage showing the available services 
(in my case http://localhost:8080/drools-5.1.1-server/kservice/  ) the Soap endpoint never shows up.

Here is the camel-server.xml (http://pastebin.com/Hf0yvNHQ)  and the knowledge-services.xml (http://pastebin.com/jqrUS9aK). They are both very basic, they are small modification to the default ones.

So, rounding up, my question is, does Drools Execution Server 5.1.1 supports Soap endpoints? if so,  based on the configuration files what am I doing wrong?

And additional question is, where I can find the XML serialization format.  For example, when using the test that comes with drools-server (REST end point) I sent the following xml:

<batch-execution lookup="ksession1">
  <insert out-identifier="person1" return-object="true">
    <org.test.Message>
      <text>Wepaje</text>
    </org.test.Message>
  </insert>
</batch-execution>

What if for example org.test.Message contains other complex object (with properties and so on). How the XML should look like?

Thanks in advance for your help
