+# SOAP Spike Results — Sage X3 WSDL Validation
+
+## Date: 2026-03-10
+
+## Method
+
+- Created a mock WSDL (`mock-x3.wsdl`) replicating X3's `CAdxWebServiceXmlCC` structure
+- Mock uses RPC/encoded binding style with SOAP 1.1, `soapenc:Array` types, Adonix/WSS namespace
+- Ran a local mock SOAP server + client using `soap@1.8.0` to validate all 5 questions
+- All 6 tests passed (5 questions + 1 bonus envelope inspection)
+
+## Validation Questions
+
+### Q1: Can `soap` parse X3's WSDL? **YES**
+
+The `soap` library successfully parses a WSDL with:
+- `style="rpc"` and `use="encoded"` binding
+- `soapenc:Array` complex types (ArrayOfCAdxMessage, ArrayOfCAdxParamKeyValue, etc.)
+- Complex nested types (CAdxCallContext, CAdxResultXml)
+- Multiple operations with different message signatures
+
+All 5 operations discovered via `client.describe()`:
+- `getDescription`, `read`, `query`, `save`, `run`
+
+Each operation's input/output types were correctly introspected including the CAdxCallContext parameter structure.
+
+### Q2: Can it construct getDescription with CAdxCallContext? **YES**
+
+The generated SOAP envelope correctly contains:
+```xml
+
+
+ ENG
+
+
+ SEED
+
+ adxwss.optreturn=JSON&adxwss.beautify=true
+
+ SIH
+
+```
+
+Key observations:
+- CAdxCallContext fields are correctly nested inside ``
+- `requestConfig` value is properly XML-escaped (`&`)
+- RPC namespace `http://www.adonix.com/WSS` is present as `tns`
+- Uses `tns:getDescription` wrapper element (RPC style, not document/literal)
+
+### Q3: Does adxwss.optreturn=JSON work? **PARTIALLY TESTABLE**
+
+What we confirmed:
+- `resultXml` is always a **string field** in the SOAP response
+- The `soap` library passes the string value through without parsing it
+- When the server puts JSON inside `resultXml`, `JSON.parse(resultXml)` works
+- When the server puts XML inside `resultXml`, we need `fast-xml-parser`
+
+What requires a real X3 server to fully validate:
+- Whether X3 actually returns valid JSON when `adxwss.optreturn=JSON` is set
+- The exact JSON structure X3 produces (field names, nesting)
+
+**Implementation approach**: Always try `JSON.parse(resultXml)` first, fall back to `fast-xml-parser`.
+
+### Q4: What format does resultXml come in? **STRING**
+
+Key findings from the spike:
+
+| Field | Type returned by soap lib | Notes |
+|-------|---------------------------|-------|
+| `resultXml` | `string` | Raw string, NOT parsed. We parse it ourselves. |
+| `status` | `string` | Returns "1" not `1`. Must `parseInt()`. |
+| `messages` | `undefined` | Empty arrays come back as undefined. Must default to `[]`. |
+| `technicalInfos` | `undefined` | Same as messages — default to `[]`. |
+
+The raw SOAP response correctly HTML-encodes XML inside ``:
+```xml
+<SINVOICE><FLD NAME="NUM">INV001</FLD></SINVOICE>
+```
+The `soap` library correctly decodes this back to the original XML string.
+
+### Q5: Does Basic Auth work at HTTP level? **YES**
+
+- `client.setSecurity(new soap.BasicAuthSecurity(user, password))` works
+- Auth header is added at HTTP transport level (not in SOAP body)
+- CAdxCallContext `codeUser` and `password` should remain empty strings for V12
+- The SOAP envelope correctly shows empty `` and ``
+
+## Recommendation: **Use `soap` library**
+
+The `soap@1.8.0` library is the right choice for Sage X3 SOAP integration.
+
+### Why `soap` library wins:
+1. Correctly parses RPC/encoded WSDL with `soapenc:Array` types
+2. Generates proper SOAP 1.1 envelopes with CAdxCallContext
+3. Built-in `BasicAuthSecurity` matches X3 V12 auth pattern
+4. `client.describe()` enables runtime operation discovery
+5. Handles XML entity encoding/decoding in resultXml automatically
+6. Promise-based API via `*Async` methods (getDescriptionAsync, readAsync, etc.)
+
+### Still needed: `fast-xml-parser` as companion
+- Parse `resultXml` content when X3 returns XML (no JSON flag, or flag unsupported)
+- Fallback for any edge cases where JSON parsing fails
+
+### Caveats discovered:
+1. `status` returns as string "1", not number — always `parseInt(status, 10)`
+2. Empty arrays (messages, technicalInfos) return as `undefined` — always default to `[]`
+3. The soap lib does NOT add `xsi:type` or `encodingStyle` attributes to individual elements — X3 may or may not require these (test with real server)
+4. No `soapenc:arrayType` attribute on array elements in the request — monitor for compatibility
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+### SOAP client creation pattern:
+```typescript
+const client = await soap.createClientAsync(wsdlUrl, {});
+client.setSecurity(new soap.BasicAuthSecurity(user, password));
+client.setEndpoint(soapEndpoint);
+```
+
+### Calling X3 operations:
+```typescript
+const [response] = await client.readAsync({
+ callContext: {
+ codeLang: "ENG",
+ codeUser: "",
+ password: "",
+ poolAlias: "SEED",
+ poolId: "",
+ requestConfig: "adxwss.optreturn=JSON",
+ },
+ publicName: "SIH",
+ objectKeys: [{ key: "NUM", value: "INV001" }],
+});
+
+const status = parseInt(response.readReturn.status, 10);
+const resultXml = response.readReturn.resultXml;
+const data = tryParseJson(resultXml) ?? parseXml(resultXml);
+const messages = response.readReturn.messages ?? [];
+```
+
+### Response normalization:
+```typescript
+function normalizeResult(raw: any): SoapResult {
+ return {
+ status: parseInt(raw.status, 10),
+ data: tryParseJson(raw.resultXml) ?? parseXml(raw.resultXml),
+ messages: (raw.messages ?? []).map(normalizeMessage),
+ technicalInfos: (raw.technicalInfos ?? []).map(normalizeTechInfo),
+ };
+}
+```
+
+## Fallback Plan: Raw HTTP POST
+
+If the `soap` library fails with a real X3 server (e.g., missing `xsi:type` attributes cause rejection), the fallback is:
+
+```typescript
+const envelope = `
+
+
+
+
+ ENG
+ SEED
+ ...
+
+ ...
+
+
+`;
+
+const response = await fetch(soapEndpoint, {
+ method: "POST",
+ headers: {
+ "Content-Type": "text/xml; charset=utf-8",
+ "SOAPAction": '""',
+ "Authorization": `Basic ${btoa(`${user}:${password}`)}`,
+ },
+ body: envelope,
+});
+```
+
+This approach gives full control over `xsi:type` annotations and `encodingStyle` attributes, but requires manual XML construction and parsing. Use only if the `soap` library proves incompatible with the real X3 server.
