Configuration for Response

When configuring the Web Services application, map the schema attribute as follows for JSON and XML.

  • Single endpoint – Refer the following example:
    Example for mapping the schema attributes with JSON

    In the above JSON response, all the attributes can be mapped as follows considering Root Path as $.list:

    Copy 
    Id = id
    displayName = displayName
    username = jive.username
    enabled = jive.enabled
    emails = emails[*].value

  • Multiple endpoints – Refer to the following response example for the first and second endpoints:

    Response Example

    Response Mapping

    First endpoint
    Copy 
    {
        "meta": {
            "query_time": 0.141557942,
            "powered_by": "csam",
            "trace_id": "8fe96ed0-4da3-42ab-b97a-4651e39f7d67"
        },
        "resources": [    
            {
                "01dcc3dd-5b72-4fb2-a43b-424e092bd6af",
                "032b704e-1467-48b3-ad70-29a04f1a20ab",
                "042ab092-918f-4ed3-97eb-196fbe917e77",
            }
        ],
        "errors": []
    }

    Response Attribute Mapping: uid = $

    Root Path: $.resources.*

    Second endpoint

    Context URL – /users/entities/users/v1?ids=$response.uid$

    Example:

    Copy 
    {
        "meta": {
            "query_time": 0.042584188,
            "powered_by": "csam",
            "trace_id": "0973beb6-8afe-452c-bac4-18d17cc3e9ef"
        },
        "resources": [
            {
                "uid": "john.doe@santander.us",
                "firstName": "John",
                "lastName": "Doe",
                "uuid": "01dcc3dd-5b72-4fb2-a43b-424e092bd6af",
                "customer": "81971f9d094d494bae5a5fd97052509f"
            }
        ],
        "errors": []
    }

    Response Attribute Mapping:

    firstName = $.resources[0].firstName

    lastName = $.resources[0].lastName

    Root Path: Root path not required

     

  • Parsing JSON Array – The following is an example for parsing JSON array:

    [1,10,21,31,46,89,90,67,88,98,101]

    The response mapping for above example is:

    Response Attribute Mapping (id is attribute in the schema): id = $

    • Root Path: $.*

  • Example 1 – XML response for mapping:

    Copy 
    <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" 
    xmlns="urn:partner.soap.sforce.com" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
    xmlns:sf="urn:sobject.partner.soap.sforce.com">
     <soapenv:Header>
          .....
          .....
     </soapenv:Header>
     <soapenv:Body>
        <queryResponse>
           <result xsi:type="QueryResult">
             <done>true</done>
             <queryLocator xsi:nil="true"/>
             <records xsi:type="sf:sObject">
               <sf:type>User</sf:type>
               <sf:Id>123456</sf:Id>
               <sf:Id>123456</sf:Id>
               <sf:Alias>Alias</sf:Alias>
               <sf:City xsi:nil="true"/>
               <sf:CommunityNickname>CName1</sf:CommunityNickname>
               <sf:Email>test@test.com</sf:Email>
               <sf:IsActive>false</sf:IsActive>
               <sf:Username>test@test.com</sf:Username>
               <sf:FirstName>Test</sf:FirstName>
               <sf:LastName>Test</sf:LastName>
             </records>
            <size>1</size>
             </result>
         </queryResponse>
       </soapenv:Body>
    </soapenv:Envelope>

  • Example 2 – XML response for mapping:

    Copy 
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?><userList id="5457373">
    <name>DillardsEveryone</name>
      <memberList>
        <listMember>example@example.com</listMember>
        <listMember>gage5.test5@test5.dillards.com</listMember>
      </memberList>
    </userList>
