Implementing soap in javascript only environment

Implementing soap in javascript only environment

I am trying to use soap as the backend services and provide data for my app.

My question is if we only use javascript framework (ex: Ember, Angular) without server side languages (ex: php)

Is that possible to implement it?

Thanks a lot!

javascript
angularjs
soap
ember.js

You cannot create SOAP services using javascript framework without using any server side languages. It is only possible to access SOAP WSDL from java script. Here goes the example :

<script type="text/javascript">
    function soap() {
        var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
        xmlhttp.open('POST', 'https://testSoapURL.com/', true);

        // build SOAP request
        var service =
            '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>' +
            '<soapenv:Envelope ' + 
                'xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" ' +
                'xmlns:api="http://127.0.0.1/Integrics/Enswitch/API" ' +
                'xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" ' +
                'xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">' +
                '<soapenv:Body>' +
                '<api:some_api_callsoapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">' +
                        '<username xsi:type="xsd:string">login_uName</username>' +
                        '<password xsi:type="xsd:string">pass</password>' +
                    '</api:some_api_call>' +
                '</soapenv:Body>' +
            '</soapenv:Envelope>';

        xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function () {
            if (xmlhttp.readyState == 4) {
                if (xmlhttp.status == 200) {

                    alert('done check the response');
                }
            }
        }
        // Send the POST request
        xmlhttp.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'text/xml');
        xmlhttp.send(service);
        //Now send the request        
    }
</script>
