support of SOAP API
Hi,
I am new to Web-services and also to SOAP UI. Recently i have to start working on web-services . I will be given with an WSDL (could be of RPC or document style ) . My program needs to identify the various operations that are defined in the service and i should be able to generate various request combination's to check the validity of the service . For example , if an operation takes 2 attributes of type int my program should generate 2 request xml where in each request will contain one attribute as string . These xml will be posted to the service and will check the response .
Initially i tried to parse the WSDL , but soon i realized that its too tough to construct the requests for various types of WSDL and namespaces . I thought of using the soap UI API for the same . How far i am correct in my approach. Is there are way using the API where i can figure out what is the type of attribute that i need to generate .
I just want to know is my approach and my decision to invest time in understanding the SOAP UI API is correct or not. Does the API leverages so much flexibility.
