Multiple SOAP request using Javascript

Question

All

I am using my SOAP API using java script.

this example explain how to send single soap request using js

var symbol = "MSFT"; 
var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xmlhttp.open("POST", "http://www.webservicex.net/stockquote.asmx?op=GetQuote",true);
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function() {
 if (xmlhttp.readyState == 4) {
  alert(xmlhttp.responseText);
  // http://www.terracoder.com convert XML to JSON 
  var json = XMLObjectifier.xmlToJSON(xmlhttp.responseXML);
  var result = json.Body[0].GetQuoteResponse[0].GetQuoteResult[0].Text;
  // Result text is escaped XML string, convert string to XML object then convert to JSON object
  json = XMLObjectifier.xmlToJSON(XMLObjectifier.textToXML(result));
  alert(symbol + ' Stock Quote: $' + json.Stock[0].Last[0].Text); 
 }


}
xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("SOAPAction", "http://www.webserviceX.NET/GetQuote");
xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "text/xml");
var xml = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>' +
 '<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" ' +
                'xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" ' +
                'xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">' + 
   '<soap:Body> ' +
     '<GetQuote xmlns="http://www.webserviceX.NET/"> ' +
       '<symbol>' + symbol + '</symbol> ' +
     '</GetQuote> ' +
   '</soap:Body> ' +
 '</soap:Envelope>';
xmlhttp.send(xml);
// ...Include Google and Terracoder JS code here...

Now i want to send multiple soap request at a time (mean request more than one envelop).

As long as the third parameter in XMLHttpRequest.open is set to true the call will be asynchronous. So your should just be able to send a new one without much effort. You do need a new XMLHttpRequest object for it to work.

If you want to use the same callback you can just define it as a function and use this to work with the request object.

function soapCallback() {
    if (this.readyState == 4) {
        alert(this.responseText);
        // http://www.terracoder.com convert XML to JSON 
        var json = XMLObjectifier.xmlToJSON(this.responseXML);
        var result = json.Body[0].GetQuoteResponse[0].GetQuoteResult[0].Text;
        // Result text is escaped XML string, convert string to XML object then convert to JSON object
        json = XMLObjectifier.xmlToJSON(XMLObjectifier.textToXML(result));
        alert(symbol + ' Stock Quote: $' + json.Stock[0].Last[0].Text); 
    }
}

var symbol = "MSFT"; 
var xml = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>' +
 '<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" ' +
                'xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" ' +
                'xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">' + 
   '<soap:Body> ' +
     '<GetQuote xmlns="http://www.webserviceX.NET/"> ' +
       '<symbol>' + symbol + '</symbol> ' +
     '</GetQuote> ' +
   '</soap:Body> ' +
 '</soap:Envelope>';

var xmlhttp1 = new XMLHttpRequest();
xmlhttp1.open("POST", "http://www.webservicex.net/stockquote.asmx?op=GetQuote",true);
xmlhttp1.onreadystatechange=soapCallback;
xmlhttp1.setRequestHeader("SOAPAction", "http://www.webserviceX.NET/GetQuote");
xmlhttp1.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "text/xml");
xmlhttp1.send(xml);

var xmlhttp2 = new XMLHttpRequest();
xmlhttp2.open("POST", "http://www.webservicex.net/stockquote.asmx?op=GetQuote",true);
xmlhttp2.onreadystatechange=soapCallback;
xmlhttp2.setRequestHeader("SOAPAction", "http://www.webserviceX.NET/GetQuote");
xmlhttp2.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "text/xml");
xmlhttp2.send(xml);
