Migrating the MuleSoft Web Service Consumer (SOAP) to Spring Boot

5 min read

The MuleSoft Web Service Consumer calls SOAP services defined by a WSDL. In Spring Boot the idiomatic equivalent is Spring Web Services' WebServiceTemplate.

Operation mapping

•wsc:consume (operation from WSDL) → webServiceTemplate.marshalSendAndReceive(request)
•WSDL-generated types → JAXB-generated request/response classes (or a raw StreamSource for lightweight cases)

Before and after

Mule (XML)

<wsc:consume config-ref="WSC_Config" operation="GetCustomer"/>

Spring Boot (Java)

GetCustomerResponse response =
    (GetCustomerResponse) webServiceTemplate.marshalSendAndReceive(getCustomerRequest);

How the conversion is validated

The generated SOAP client is unit-tested; in a pilot it is validated against your own service endpoint with the same field-by-field Proven-Parity comparison.

Prove it on your own code

Send us one Mule application and your Postman collection. We convert it and prove the Spring Boot output matches field-by-field — on-premise, inside your environment.
