This is a tool for testing web services. A good
web service needs to be interoperable with many SOAP clients,
which may send different, yet valid, messages for the same
service. The tool can be used to simulate such situations. You
can change schemas, namespaces, and variable values to test if
your service is really SOAP 1.1 compliant.
Using the Message Builder:
The most difficult part of using the tool is to
create a valid message:
1. If you know the message already and have a
copy of it, just cut-n-copy to the text box above.
2. If you know the WSDL file, you may be able to
generate a complete message using our Generic
SOAP Client with a proxy (Use Simon Fell's proxyTrace
if you haven't got one). proxyTrace should capture the complete
request message when executing a method..
3. If you know the WSDL file, we can
generate a skeleton where you have to put in variable values. Enter
the WSDL file below and click the Generate button, an
automatically generated request message will be put into the
SOAP message box above. All variable values are in the form of {$var_name},
where var_name is the name of the variable. You must replace
them manually before execution.
Select the
Validate checkbox will send the message to Microsoft Message
Validator for verification.
