Using Web Service Explorer to test a Web service
By Trung Ha
Introduction This document is one of a series of tutorials to demonstrate the use of the Web Services tools in the Web Tools Platform Project using a WTP 1.0 driver. This tutorial shows how to use the Web Service Explorer to test a Web service via native WSDL and SOAP. It demonstrates how to use the Web Services Explorer to invoke operations on a Web service named " Delayed Stock Quote " as available from XMethods on the internet. The only prerequisite is that you be connected to the internet. If you are connected via a firewall, you can use the Internet preferences page (choose Preferences -> Internet from the main menu). Otherwise, you can begin with a completely fresh workspace and no installed servers.
1) Launch the Eclipse WTP workbench.
2) From the main menu bar, select Run -> Launch the Web Services Explorer. This will take a few moments the first time while Eclipse's internal Tomcat server starts up and loads the Web Services Explorer application.
3) After the Web Browser view opens, maximize it. Result:
4) In the Web Service Explorer's toolbar (top-right), click on the WSDL Page icon
6) In the WSDL URL field, enter the URL http://services.xmethods.net/soap/urn:xmethods-delayed-quotes.wsdl , then click on Go . Result: |
