Node JS: SOAP to query Java Web Services

I am trying to invoke Javaweb services from node js module. However, I get error in the wsdl library. Here is my wsdl file.

Here is my test.js

  var soap = require('soap');
  var url = 'http://localhost:8888/webservice/helloworld?wsd';
  var args = {sayHello: 'ABC'};
  soap.createClient(url, function(err, client) {
      client.MyFunction(args, function(err, result) {
          console.log(result);
      });
  });

On running, I get the following error - 

node_modules/soap/lib/wsdl.js:68
  const [topLevelName] = nsName.split('|');
        ^

SyntaxError: Unexpected token [

$node --version v4.2.6

Is there any other way like jquery to call this java web service?

node test.js 
/home/sjoshi/test.js:5
      client.sayHello(args, function(err, result) {
             ^

TypeError: Cannot read property 'sayHello' of undefined
Solution

  • What version of Node.js are you using? Array de-structuring is a newer feature I believe so if you are running an older version of Node.js it may not have this feature.

    http://kangax.github.io/compat-table/es6/#node6_5

    It looks like Node 6.5 and up supports it.
