This section gets you oriented and running. Read it in order if you're new; jump straight to the Quickstart if you just want a published service in front of you.

Current release: v1.0 (General Availability). See the release notes.

In this section

  • Introduction — what SOAP-2-REST by Specaria is, the Publish/Consume model, where it sits in your stack, and who it's for.
  • Core concepts — the operator vocabulary: service, operation, mapping, mapping version, Publish vs Consume, discovery, learned example, connector, conversion option, correlation ID, contract drift, RBAC roles, and environment. Read this before the Quickstart so the UI labels make sense.
  • Quickstart — the fastest path from zero to a published service: stand up the standalone Docker Compose stack, import a WSDL, configure the backend, review the generated OpenAPI v3, publish, and make a test call.
  • System requirements — PostgreSQL, container runtime, JVM, supported deployment targets, network egress for licensing, payload limits, and the capacity baseline.

Suggested reading order

  1. Introduction — understand the model.
  2. Core concepts — learn the vocabulary.
  3. System requirements — confirm your target host qualifies.
  4. Quickstart — bring up the stack and publish your first service.

When you're past the basics:
