RE: [axis2] client development

SoapUI also makes their source available.  You could peruse it for ideas on dynamically creating service clients from WSDLs.

Thanks, I will check this out as a testing tool.  But, one of my main focuses is to be able to read a wsdl and invoke a given service with it's desired input programatically.  The input may be simple and/or complex types and the service endpoint may be any style or use.

Tony,

I don't see any replies so far.

Have you looked at SoapUI ( http://www.soapui.org/ )?

So far, it has been able to interact with all the Services I've had to investigate.

Hi,

I will preface this saying that I have not done much client development... spending much of my time developing web services themselves.  Now, I have need to develop a client that can take an arbitrary wsdl on the fly and generate SOAP requests irregardless of the web service endpoint style (rpc/document, literal/encoded).  The SOAP envelope request will need to be generated at runtime so that they process is truly dynamic.  I was thinking of using something like wsdl4j to interpret the wsdl and then generate the payload accordingly.  Is this the right approach?  In your client samples you basically have a ServiceClient that can send OMElement structure in varying MEPs.  Is there an API that I can use to tell you for instance that this request is an rpc request with such and such parameters.  Or is this left up to the programmer to encode in the OMElement structure?  Just looking for some insight and direction.

Thanks for your time.
