---++ Soap Call (XML transfer from cargooffice to you, your customers or subcontractors)

Push an XML formatted message to an external SOAP server.<br>
This is handled by the pushspooler which runs every 2 minutes and also handles / pushes FTP files to remote servers.
To configure SOAP calls, you need to tweak param *'orderOutputFTP'* a little bit so that it also pushes SOAP messages.

If param *'orderOutputFTP'* doesn't exist it needs to be created. This param contains details of where the files or XML messages will be pushed to. If you provide the param with a customerID, an outputfolder will be created for this customerID. If you omit the customerID, a general outputfolder will be created.

Example of an *orderOutputFTP* param to push SOAP XML messages:
<verbatim>
proto=soap
wsdl=http://somedomain.com/webservice/shipmentOrder.svc?wsdl
log=1
</verbatim>

*Explanation:*

   * *proto*: must be 'soap'
   * *wsdl*: the the URL where the wsdl (web service definition language) can be found
   * *log:* whether the actions should be made visible under 'EDI log' in your Cargooffice, set to 0 for no logging, set to 1 for logging.

*The XML*
The XML message must be in a file with the extension .soap. The format of the file is as follows:

<verbatim>
function:newShipment
xml:
<myxml>
......
</myxml>
</verbatim>

*Explanation:*

   * *Function* : The name of the function to call at the remote server (this name should be in the wsdl file as well)
   * *xml* : The XML message to pass to the remote server.
