Description

The smx-cxf-bc consumer and smx-http soap-consumer endpoints both support the useJBIWrapper boolean flag. However, smx-cxf-bc consumer interprets this flag to mean forward the message with the soap envelope instead of the jbi wrapper. OTOH, the smx-http soap-consumer interprets it to mean forward the message with just the soap body and neither the soap envelope nor the jbi wrapper.

I think the smx-http soapConsumer behavior is much more intuitive.

In SMX 3.3, would it be possible to add a useSOAPEnvelope boolean flag to smx-cxf-bc? The default value for this flag would be false. In addition, it would be an error to set both flags to true.

When useSOAPEnvelope=true, one would get the same behavior as the current useJBIWrapper=false.

When useJBIWrapper=false (and useSOAPEnvelope=false), neither envelope would be used, which would result in the same behavior as smx-http consumer useJBIWrapper=false.

What do you think? I recognize that this is a breaking change. However, I think it is a significant improvement over the current behavior.

Also, I think adding the useSOAPEnvelope=true boolean flag to the smx-http soapConsumer might be a worthwhile enhancement as well.
