⁠Chapter 7. MantisBT SOAP API

The now deprecated MantisBT SOAP API is accessible at: https://server.com/mantis/api/soap/mantisconnect.php.

The WSDL for a running MantisBT instance is available at https://server.com/mantis/api/soap/mantisconnect.php?wsdl. Use this instance-specific WSDL when generating client stubs, as MantisBT adjusts the service address to match its configured installation URL.

Release archives include a static reference at doc/en-US/soap-api/index.html and the corresponding WSDL at doc/en-US/soap-api/mantisconnect.wsdl. The reference is generated from the same WSDL that defines the SOAP service.

⁠7.1. Java integration

⁠7.1.1. Prebuilt SOAP stubs using Axis

For ease of integration of the Java clients, SOAP stubs are maintained and deployed in the Maven central repository. For example:

<dependency>
    <groupId>biz.futureware.mantis</groupId>
    <artifactId>mantis-axis-soap-client</artifactId>
    <version>1.2.15</version>
</dependency>

To include them in your project, download the latest available version.

⁠7.1.2. Usage in OSGi environments

If you would like to use Axis in an OSGi environment, it is recommended that you use a ready-made bundle, such as the Axis bundle available from Eclipse Orbit
