Can SoapUI help me determine WSDL errors?

I have downloaded SoapUI and I'm not sure it has the function I need. My situation is:

  1. Oracle provides an endpoint with a SOAP XML.
  2. I try to take this XML and put it into Visual Studio as a "Connected Service"
  3. Visual Studio says "Number of Services Found: 0"

Can SoapUI determine why this is not recognized as a valid WSDL? Is there some other tool to do this?

    Hi FoxScully 

    SoapUI can aid in identifying WSDL errors, but it may not detect all issues preventing Visual Studio recognition. T

    • To triage WSDL problems, utilize SoapUI by importing the WSDL, validating it with the "Check WS-I Compliance" feature, and inspecting its structure.
    • Besides, consider employing other tools like Apache CXF WSDL Validator, online WSDL validators, XMLSpy, or Oxygen XML for comprehensive validation.
    • Be aware of potential Visual Studio-specific issues, such as metadata endpoint requirements, authentication needs, and WSDL version compatibility. To ensure thorough checking, use multiple validation tools, verify Visual Studio constraints, and examine specific error messages.

    While SoapUI is a valuable tool, combining it with other approaches will yield the best results in identifying and resolving WSDL-related problems.
