Re: Webservice Test Applications -- WEB400

So, perhaps I misunderstood. What are you looking for? What I likedabout the Web Services Explorer was the ability to navigate to a WSDL ina project and then select the methods that were exposed as services andsend data to that service and receive a response.

Unless you are testing something after you deploy, this works great(unless it is an RPG based service). After deployment, I can use theTCPMonitor for Axis since it will intercept the request and display it.Since it is a proxy, it may not be limited to AXIS calls, it mayintercept any TCP traffic on a given port and then forward it. Haven'ttried that though and it certainly wouldn't let you make changes.


I'll take a look at what you have.

Bummer.

I will keep looking and let everyone know if I find anything.

Cool!  Thanks for the suggestion Pete. I haven't followed that project for
quite some time as I use MyEclipse IDE for most of my J2EE development.
Looks like I should take another peak at what WTP has to offer <doing the
update manager now>

In the meantime, if anyone else is in need of a easy to use, "raw" tool to
test your web services please check out this little program I wrote (open
source). Also, if anybody wants to add features to it that would be great!

Aaron,

I am using the web tools plugin for Eclipse.http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/ . I also use the TCPMonitor for Axis.But then most of my web services are written in Java because there is no

Axis-like services interface for RPG programs (but I am thinking about
developing one).

I am wondering what people are using to test their web services. WDSchas tooling to do it if a WSDL has been created and you have access toit, but sometimes a more "raw" approach is needed. That is why I haveneeded to develop something custom (Java thick client), but am hopingthere is something else out there that already has a lot of thefeatures I am looking for.
Here is a screen shot of what I have built:

There are a lot more things I want to put in it like the ability tosave "profiles" so you don't have to type everything in time and time

again.

Anyways, what does everybody else use?
