Solution

To configure your Connect-SOAP rule to send the XML payload as a string with content type text/xml:

1. Modify Content Type Header:
   • In Dev Studio, navigate to Records > Integration-Connectors > Connect SOAP
   • Select your Connect-SOAP instance
   • Navigate to the Request tab
   • In the "Request headers" section, add a custom HTTP header:
     • Name: Content-Type
     • Map from: Constant
     • Map from key: text/xml; charset=utf-8
2. Configure XML String in Request Parameters:
   • In the "Request parameters" section, configure the parameter that will contain your XML:
   • Data type: XML Literal
   • Name: YourRequest (matching your external element name)
   • Description: XML payload as string
   • Map from: Choose the appropriate source:
     • If using Constant: Enter the well-formed XML with proper escaping
     • If using Clipboard: Select the property that contains your escaped XML
3. Properly Escape XML Content:
   • For the xmlString element, you need to ensure proper XML escaping:
   • < becomes <
   • becomes >
   • & becomes &
4. XML Structure Format:
   • Format your XML structure similar to your example:
5. <web:YourRequest>
6.    <web:xmlString>&lt;root&gt;&lt;child&gt;Value&lt;/child&gt;&lt;/root&gt;</web:xmlString>
7. </web:YourRequest>
8. Use XML Stream Rule (Alternative Approach):
   • For complex XML structures, create an XML Stream rule
   • Configure the rule to format your XML with proper escaping
   • In the Connect-SOAP rule, set Map from: XML Stream
   • Map from key: Reference your XML Stream rule

This configuration ensures that your Connect-SOAP sends the request payload with content type text/xml and properly formats the XML as a string within the SOAP envelope, exactly as the external system expects.
