In Azure API Management I have a SOAP to REST api with the wsdl imported. I am able to send requests through however the liquid template in the set-body which creates the XML request from JSON is not able to read an array in the JSON.
Liquid Template:
<set-body template="liquid">
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns="http://tempuri.org/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<soap:Body>
<testEndpointName>
<request>
<Attachments>
{% for item in body.testEndpointName.request.attachments %}
<testEndpointNameAttachment>
{% if item.fileBytes %}
<FileBytes>{{item.fileBytes}}</FileBytes>
{% else %}
<FileBytes xsi:nil="true" />
{% endif %}
{% if item.fileName %}
<FileName>{{item.fileName}}</FileName>
{% else %}
<FileName xsi:nil="true" />
{% endif %}
{% if item.fileSize %}
<FileSize >{{item.fileSize}}</FileSize>
{% else %}
<FileSize xsi:nil="true" />
{% endif %}
</testEndpointNameAttachment>
{% endfor %}
</Attachments>
{% if body.testEndpointName.request.email %}
<Email>{{body.testEndpointName.request.email}}</Email>
{% else %}
<Email xsi:nil="true" />
{% endif %}
{% if body.testEndpointName.request.emailBody %}
<EmailBody">{{body.testEndpointName.request.emailBody}}</EmailBody>
{% else %}
<EmailBody xsi:nil="true" />
{% endif %}
{% if body.testEndpointName.request.policyNumber %}
<PolicyNumber>{{body.testEndpointName.request.policyNumber}}</PolicyNumber>
{% else %}
<PolicyNumberxsi:nil="true" />
{% endif %}
{% if body.testEndpointName.request.subject %}
<Subject>{{body.testEndpointName.request.subject}}</Subject>
{% else %}
<Subject xsi:nil="true" />
{% endif %}
</request>
</testEndpointName>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
</set-body>
Example Input:
{
"testEndpointName": {
"request": {
"attachments": [
{
"fileBytes": "fakebytes",
"fileName": "fakename.txt",
"fileSize": "1234"
}
],
"email": "[email protected]",
"emailBody": "test email body",
"policyNumber": "1234",
"subject": "test subject"
}
}
}
This gets me a request which looks like the following:
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns="http://tempuri.org/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<soapenv:Body>
<testEndpointName>
<request>
<Attachments></Attachments>
<Email>[email protected]</Email>
<EmailBody>test email body</EmailBody>
<PolicyNumber>1234</PolicyNumber>
<Subject>test subject</Subject>
</request>
</testEndpointName>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
The Attachments section is always empty. I have tried replacing for with JSONArrayFor and also made sure that the header Content-Type is always set to application/json. I also tried hard coding values inside the for loop to see if it ever got in there and it did not.
Any help would be appreciated.

Before doing the liquid-transformation, it has to be ensured that the Content-Type is set to application/json, like the input data.
This can also be done in the request itself, but to be on the safe side, it can be set in the policy.
The response Content-Type application/xml has to be set after the transformation.
Policy:
<set-header name="Content-Type" exists-action="override">
<value>application/json</value>
</set-header>
<set-body template="liquid">
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns="http://tempuri.org/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<soap:Body>
<testEndpointName>
<request>
<Attachments>
{% for item in body.testEndpointName.request.attachments %}
<testEndpointNameAttachment>
{% if item.fileBytes %}
<FileBytes>{{item.fileBytes}}</FileBytes>
{% else %}
<FileBytes xsi:nil="true" />
{% endif %}
{% if item.fileName %}
<FileName>{{item.fileName}}</FileName>
{% else %}
<FileName xsi:nil="true" />
{% endif %}
{% if item.fileSize %}
<FileSize>{{item.fileSize}}</FileSize>
{% else %}
<FileSize xsi:nil="true" />
{% endif %}
</testEndpointNameAttachment>
{% endfor %}
</Attachments>
</request>
</testEndpointName>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
</set-body>
<set-header name="Content-Type" exists-action="override">
<value>application/xml</value>
</set-header>
