Use the SOAP Request Response Service Test wizard of testing to verify that the service produces the correct result. You must have deployed a service or looked up a publicly accessible service published to a UDDI registry before you can test the service. This method of testing allows for the SOAP input message to be edited and sent directly to the service. The response from the service then displays.
You can access the wizard for testing a service the following ways:
From Enterprise Explorer, right-click on the deployed service under the package and select Test Service.
From Enterprise Explorer, in a UDDI registry, select the WSDL for a published service and select Test Service.
Go to New|Other|Sybase|Service Test.
From the public folder in Service Explorer, right-click on a SOAP service and select Test Service.
From WorkSpace Navigator, go to the .wsdl file. Right-click the WSDL and select Test Service.
When sending messages with dateTime or time fields using the SOAP Request/Response Service test wizard, no format conversions of the input data occurs. All fields in the input message must be in the format required for the request message. For example date/time fields must be in the proper format for XSD date and time data types, not the format of Java date/time data types. For additional information, see www.w3schools.com/schema/schema_dtypes_date.asp.
To test a service using SOAP Request Response:
Launch the Service Testing Wizard using one of the methods described above.
Select SOAP Request/Response Service Testing wizard and click Next.
The Options page allows you to enter or edit the following information:
Service Testing Options
| Timeout | Enter the number of seconds after which the process automatically stops if no results are returned. Default is 60 seconds. |
| Security | Enter a user name and password for accessing secured services. For ASA-based Web services, you can disable the secured status by modifying the service to AUTHORIZATION OFF. |
| Security at WSDL level | Enter a user name and password for accessing secured WSDL documents. For ASA-based Web services, you can disable the secured status by modifying the service to AUTHORIZATION OFF. Note that ASA Web Services create password-protected WSDL documents. |
| Wrapped Document | This option turns off the special treatment of what is called wrapped document/literal style operations. By default, WSDL2Java recognizes certain conditions and unwraps the top-level element, treating each of the components of the element as arguments to the operation. Default is "not enabled." |
| Proxy Settings | Select this option to enable proxy settings, which means that the service invocation SOAP request is redirected to the specified host and port. Default is "not enabled." If checked, enter the proxy host name and port number. The proxy settings allow integration with SOAP Inspector, which is an existing view within Sybase Workspace. However, if SOAP Inspector is not enabled or is not listening to the specified port, the service invocation fails. These settings also allow integration with other programs such as TCP/IP Monitor. Using SOAP Inspector allows you to capture the SOAP request messages for use on the SOAP Request and Response page. |
