Web Service Test Client Plugin

Liquid XML studio integrates smoothly into Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 & 2008 allowing users to develop XML and XSD applications within the familiar Microsoft Visual Studio environment.

This tool allows users to browse web service, select a web method, call the method and view the results.

Once a web method is selected, the tool automatically creates the SOAP envelope and generates a request message based on the description within the web service description (WSDL). You can then change this request, setting in your own values.

The web request can then be saved, so it can be re-used later. This is very useful in a testing and development environment. 

Features

  • Auto generates SOAP Envelope
  • Auto generates XML Request
  • Supported protocols HTTP GET, HTTP POST, SOAP 1.0, 1.1
  • Support for authentication
  • Support for HTTPS
  • Save the call for later
  • Visual Studio 2005 & 2008 plugin (Designer Edition and above)

Step By Step

1. Select the Web Service

You must either supply the web service URL or a WSDL file. Some web services require authentication, this information can also be entered and recorded in this wizard.

2. Select the Web Method to call

 A list of all the web methods is read from the WSDL (either from the file you supplied or the web service itself).
Some web services can be called via a number of protocols, the methods exposed by each protocol are displayed for the user to select from.

The following protocols are supported HTTP GET, HTTP POST, SOAP 1.0, SOAP 1.1.

3. Amend the Request & call the Web Method

 Once you select a web method, a SOAP envelope is automatically generated along with a request message based on the parameters for the selected Web Method.

Typically you would want to replace the default values with ones more meaningful to your application.

4. View the Response

 Once you press the "Execute" button, the web service is called and the response is displayed.

You can then save the Web Request so you can call it again in the future.
