@Gainty: It's a pleasure to see that you are interested on my idea. Please give me about one or two days to prepare some web services in IIS server. If I can find some free hosting spaces for aspx services, I'll send the links here so that you can experience what they provide to test web services. Unless I'll send some screen shots.
Complex types that are not supported by WSAS , are most of the times objects developed by the user. It's provides an xml interface to edit payload in such scenarios. But I think that it can also be handled through a dynamically generated UI. @Andreas I checked the tool Web Service Explorer provided in Eclipse. The same technology can be used here as well. But my ambition is to implement a nice HTML interface instead of the wsdl file that axis2 present when we call a url of a service through a web browser. Then user doesn't need to bother to find any other tool to test his web services. Thank you all.
