Controlling the Message Name of the SOAP Response

In an InterSystems IRIS® web service, you can control the message name used in the response received from a web method. By default, this message name is the name of the web method with Response appended to the end. The following example shows a response from a web method called Divide; the response message name is DivideResponse.

<SOAP-ENV:Body>
   <DivideResponse xmlns="http://www.myapp.org">
       <DivideResult>.5</DivideResult>
   </DivideResponse>  
</SOAP-ENV:Body>

To specify a different response message name, set the SoapMessageName keyword within the web method definition.

Note that you cannot change the name of the SOAP message that invokes a given web method; this name of this message is the name of the method. You can, however, override the SOAP action as given in the HTTP request; see Overriding the Default HTTP SOAP Action.
