SOAP Transformation With Apache Camel Java DSL

One of the most common issues that we usually tackle with customers when modernizing legacy integrations is when they have a collection of legacy SOAP web services that don't integrate well enough with the modern RESTful-based clients. In this article, we are going to use Apache Camel to build a REST endpoint that will translate REST calls to a SOAP envelope, get the response, and send it back to the client.

Now, we don't actually need to write all the code that is needed to interact with a SOAP web service.

And with this Apache Camel approach, we can always apply more patterns to maybe enrich or send the information to multiple destinations, for example.
