∟Calling GetSpeech SOAP 1.2 Web Service

This section provides a tutorial example on how to run HttpURLConnectionGetSpeech12.java to call the GetSpeech SOAP 1.2 Web service provided by xmlme.com.

To use HttpURLConnectionGetSpeech12.java, I need a SOAP 1.1 request XML message. Here is one example, soap_1_1_GetSpeech_req.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap12:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" 
  xmlns:soap12="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope">
  <soap12:Body>
    <GetSpeech xmlns="http://xmlme.com/WebServices">
      <Request>Cowards die many times before their deaths</Request>
    </GetSpeech>
  </soap12:Body>
</soap12:Envelope>

Here is the execution result of HttpURLConnectionGetSpeech12.java:

\herong>java HttpURLConnectionGetSpeech12
   http://www.xmlme.com/WSShakespeare.asmx
   soap_1_2_GetSpeech_req.xml res.xml

Request length: 416
Response length: 725

\herong>type res.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope"
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  <soap:Body>
    <GetSpeechResponse xmlns="http://xmlme.com/WebServices">
      <GetSpeechResult>
        &lt;SPEECH&gt;&lt;PLAY&gt;JULIUS CAESAR&lt;/PLAY&gt;
        &lt;SPEAKER&gt;CAESAR&lt;/SPEAKER&gt;Cowards die many times
        before their deaths; The valiant never taste of death but 
        once. Of all the wonders that I yet have heard. It seems 
        ...&lt;/SPEECH&gt;
      </GetSpeechResult>
    </GetSpeechResponse>
  </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

Wonderful. My HttpURLConnectionGetSpeech12.java works perfectly too.
