Hello Tony, If you are interested in validating your WSDL and checking it for WS-I Basic profile compliance, then WS-I test tool is really good. I'll prefer that than MindReef SOAPscope. SOAPscope does not generate the compliance report but WSI tool does generate a detailed HTML report which is very useful.
I found that SOAPscope can be a good tool for debugging WSDL, but it not a good testing tool. It does not support doc-lit services where the in/out parameter types are defined in the imported XSD, It fails to generate the request and hence fails to invoke the intended service. I evaluated SOAPscope 2.0 tool for our testing, but did not serve our purpose. Does not support parameterization, reporting etc. It has very very primitive testing functionalities. Thanks, Shrikant Wagh QA Lead, HPP/Eprofile, HP For those who are interested in Web Services testing: ----------------------------------------------------- I found that WebServiceTester from Optimyz software is a very good tool for testing any types of web services, and I'm great fan of this tool. It supports all types of web services, and all simple and complex types and it very usable than any other tool in the market I ever used/evaluated. It automatically generates the SOAP requests and invokes the intended web services. It can perform functional, regression and load testing of web services. Result analysis and status reporting is just wonderful. I'll highly recommend this tool for testing web services, saves lots of time and efforts in testing web services.

We successfully used their 2.0 release to ensure that our doc/lit WSDL/XSD was WS-I compliant before running Axis 1.2 alpha wsdl2java against it. Their current release, 3.0, touts further WS-I testing capabilities: integration with the WS-I test suite and automagic WS-I conformance report generation. We just got 3.0 in house, however, and have yet to play with these new features. -Jon -----Original Message----- From: Davanum Srinivas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 22, 2004 9:33 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Axis and Basic Profile 1.0a http://www.ws-i.org/implementation.aspx --- Tony Opatha <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > 1.
