When I want to see the raw text of a web service I direct my SOAP web
service to a Servlet that dumps the entire input stream to the console (or
text file).
That has worked well for me.
The other method I have used is create a small application that allows you
to have an input and output window for calling a web service. It is bare
bones but it gets the job done. Load the below code into a file called
GetURL.java and give it a try. Note I used WDSc's GUI capabilities to create
this GUI app.
HTH,
