SOAP Envelope Enhancement Request

Change the SOAP Envelope node to support both SOAP 1.1 and 1.2.  Specifically, we would like the SOAP Extract node to store the entire SOAP Envelope (independent of SOAP version), which includes the Soap Envelope tag, SOAP Body tag, SOAP Header tag and all of the SOAP Header Tag's children, in the “Envelope Destination” configured on the SOAP Extract node.  Then, the SOAP Envelope node, later in the flow, could retrieve the entire saved SOAP Envelope (independent of SOAP version), which includes the Soap Envelope tag, SOAP Body tag, SOAP Header tag and all of the SOAP Header Tag's children, from the “Existing Envelope Location” configured on the SOAP Envelope node.

Currently, the SOAP Envelope node has the ability to add a new SOAP Envelope. 

Request:
Add a user selectable property that would identity a SOAP version, either SOAP 1.1 or 1.2, to use when creating a new SOAP Envelope.

    Idea Review. As part of our policy for regularly reassessing aged ideas we have recently discussed this enhancement request again. Unfortunately on this occasion it has been decided that we won't be taking this idea further forward as a business priority. Despite being open for several years now, this particular request has only garnered a single vote, and there are already other means of achieving this use case in the product. It's possible to construct a SOAP structure prior to a SOAPRequest node using a graphical mapping node or using code in a Compute/JavaCompute/.NETCompute node ... so whilst the suggestion would provide usability benefits there are other options available.

    RFE Review. Thank you for raising this RFE and apologies for the time period it has been in Submitted Status. We agree that this usability enhancement would assist users with SOAP 1.2 processing. We're surprised this RFE has not received more public support in the time that it has been open, but will continue to monitor it for popularity. Status is updated to Uncommitted Candidate.
