WS02: Invoking external weather SOAP webservice from ESB

I am trying to use WSO2 ESB (version 4.8.1) to invoke externally hosted SOAP web services. To try it out I was using a public web service for weather information (http://wsf.cdyne.com/WeatherWS/Weather.asmx?WSDL), more specifically the GetWeatherInformation operation.

I have successfully consumed the web service using the soapUI tool.

I am a newcomer to SOAP and ESB, so I tried to follow a number of blog entries, but I keep on getting errors. I tried using proxy service, payload factory and send but still didn't manage. Can somebody please help me with setting this up?

Thanks

Here come a sample API to invoke GetWeatherInformation : 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<api xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse"
     name="testws3api"
     context="/testws3api">
   <resource methods="GET" url-mapping="/GetWeatherInformation">
      <inSequence>
         <payloadFactory media-type="xml">
            <format>
               <GetWeatherInformation xmlns="http://ws.cdyne.com/WeatherWS/"/>
            </format>
            <args/>
         </payloadFactory>
         <send>
            <endpoint>
               <address uri="http://wsf.cdyne.com/WeatherWS/Weather.asmx" format="soap11"/>
            </endpoint>
         </send>
      </inSequence>
      <outSequence>
         <send/>
      </outSequence>
   </resource>
</api>

You just have to send a GET http request to http://esb.hostname:8280/testws3api/GetWeatherInformation (use SoapUI or type this address in your internet browser) and you will get back the XML response from the Weather WS

It works with this proxy conf deployed in WSO2 ESB v4.8.1 : 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<proxy xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse"
       name="testws3"
       transports="https http"
       startOnLoad="true"
       trace="disable">
   <target>
      <endpoint>
         <wsdl service="Weather"
               port="WeatherSoap12"
               uri="http://wsf.cdyne.com/WeatherWS/Weather.asmx?WSDL"/>
      </endpoint>
      <outSequence>
         <send/>
      </outSequence>
   </target>
   <publishWSDL uri="http://wsf.cdyne.com/WeatherWS/Weather.asmx?WSDL"/>
</proxy>
