If you disable this, the input will be eaten and only the WSDL output will be passed along to the next steps. v2.x/3.x compatibility mode We improved the parsing engine of the 3.x engine dramatically. For compatibility reasons, we kept the old engine around to make sure older steps would still work OK.

Specify the name of the repeating element in the output XML (if any).

HTTP authentication

Here you can put the username and password if these are required for the web service.

Proxy to use

Here you can optionally put the proxy host and port information.
