Product Description:

Version 1.0 is a major step forward in functionality for SOAP Client. SOAP Client now uses WSDL files you provide to dynamically create a graphical user interface for any given SOAP-based web service. Here's how:

  1. Find a SOAP-based web service that also has an accompanying WSDL description file.
  2. Launch SOAP Client 1.0 and paste the URL of a remote WSDL file into the 'WSDL' text field, or download the WSDL file to your local system and find it using the 'Browse' Button.
  3. Click the 'Parse' button.
  4. Watch in wonder as SOAP Client dynamically builds a graphical user interface for the SOAP-based web service described by the given WSDL file.
  5. Use this newly-created UI to select your desired method and input your parameter values. SOAP Client will automatically take care of adding the Endpoint URI, method namespace, and SOAPAction headers.
  6. Click the 'Execute' button.
  7. Now view both the SOAP request and response in the tabbed view below.

What's new in this version:

New SOAP Client v1.5:

  • Support for SOAP request parameters that are XML Schema complexTypes -- now SOAP Client can serialize xsd:complexTypes referenced in your WSDL file.
  • Fix for crasher when executing against a SOAP endpoint that cannot be reached (no network access, incorrect address, etc).
  • SOAP Client no longer generates empty SOAP-ENC:Header elements in your request if you don't specify SOAP header content.

Note that there's an important caveat to the complexType encoding support. v1.5 does not currently support nested complexTypes -- that is, a complexType with another complexType as one of it's properties/fields. This is due to the rather short-sighted way in which I implemented this feature -- it should be recursive in a sense so that a complexType graph can be constructed. Unfortunately, that's not how I did it for v1.5. Watch for support for complexType graphs in a future version coming soon.

SOAP Client Troubleshooting ReportWatching in wonder - Version: 1.5, 11/13/2006 12:38AM PST

I watched in wonder how the graphical interface was generated, and then kept staring at it for 20 minutes.

For the life of me, I was unable to figure out a way to invoke a single specific webservice method and only one.

Maybe the developer should think again and make a simpler, less wonderful, easier to use interface.
