I have used SoupUI (http://www.soapui.org/), which is in on the CF411 list. You give your WSDL address and it allows you to make requests. As Charlie mentioned, this will confirm if the problem is with the web service itself. The other reason this was a big deal for me is that it shows you what the soap request should look like. Whenever I have had problems with a web service, my soap request was wrong.

And as far as tools to analyze web services, there are those built into Dreamweaver and Eclipse (with the Adobe CF Extensions). Have you tried either of those? Each of these can explore any web service URL you provide, and show you its methods, arguments, etc. There are also free web-based tools that can explore any web service. These will help you confirm if a problem is in your client or tool, or if in fact the web service can be consumed just fine. See the section of my CF411 site: Web Services Browsing/Testing Tools http://www.cf411.com/#websvc which includes specific pointers for where to find the web service testing features in DW and Eclipse. Those tools can also build CFINVOKE or createobject calls to invoke such web services, though I realize in your case, Gerry, you're not likely interested in that feature. Still, for just confirming that a web service can be browsed at all, they're useful for you. /charlie -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Gerry Gurevich Sent: Wednesday, May 27, 2009 12:24 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ACFUG Discuss] Web Service Problem A little clarification of my initial description: I had indicated that the SOAP envelope was formed wrong...but it turns out that this was the tool that I was using to generate the SOAP request that was malforming the outbound request. Presumably it is because of something in the WSDL. But I'm investigating another tool. ------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, manage your profile @ http://www.acfug.org?fa=login.edituserform For more info, see http://www.acfug.org/mailinglists Archive @ http://www.mail-archive.com/discussion%40acfug.org/ List hosted by http://www.fusionlink.com ------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, manage your profile @ http://www.acfug.org?fa=login.edituserform For more info, see http://www.acfug.org/mailinglists Archive @ http://www.mail-archive.com/discussion%40acfug.org/ List hosted by http://www.fusionlink.com ------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, manage your profile @ http://www.acfug.org?fa=login.edituserform For more info, see http://www.acfug.org/mailinglists Archive @ http://www.mail-archive.com/discussion%40acfug.org/ List hosted by http://www.fusionlink.com -------------------------------------------------------------
