Posting XML requests

About posting XML to Poetic

Most XML requests are posted automatically from external systems. However, Poetic also provides a UI from which to post XML manually.

Displaying the Post XML page

To display the Post XML page:

  1. On the Administration menu, click Tools.
  2. On the Tools menu, click Post XML.

Determining whether to use SOAP to process the XML

The URL field contains the URL that the XML will be posted to.

By default, the Web service check box is checked, indicating that you are using SOAP to process the XML.

When you post XML from the UI, Poetic automatically adds the SOAP envelope. If you are using SOAP, do not include the SOAP envelope in your XML.

If you are not using SOAP, uncheck the Web service check box. The default URL is updated to the value for non-SOAP requests.

Posting the XML

In the Input XML text area, type or paste the XML you want to test.

Click Post XML.

The Response XML field contains the Poetic response XML.
