SOAP servers often have a WSDL (Web Services Description Language) document available. This is an xml file which describes all of the services and their methods. It includes everything you need to configure a client for making a request of the service. For some examples of WSDL, see www.xmethods.com and click on nearly any service. They all have WSDL. There are also tools from Apache Axis and GLUE that generate WSDL from a Java component being exposed as a web service. You can all read about WSDL at www.w3.ord/TR/wsdl

Hi, Is there any way to remotely understand what services or methods a SOAP server can respond to? Thanks, Jason
