∟Generating Test Requests on Operations

This section provides a tutorial example on how to generate a test SOAP request against an operation defined in a WSDL document.

If you are using "SOAP over HTTP" as the transportation protocol, soapUI can help you to create a test SOAP request very quickly.

1. Run soapUI 3.0.1 and load Hello_WSDL_11_SOAP.wsdl as shown in the previous tutorial.

2. Right click on "Hello" operation in the project object tree and select "New Request". A small dialog box shows up.

3. Enter Hello_Test_Request as the request name and click OK. A sample request shows up in the request editor.

4. Enter "Hello from client." in the HelloRequest element. I got a perfect SOAP test request for my Web service, helloService, as shown here:
soapUI 3.0.1 Generate Test Request

Here is content of the test request:

<soapenv:Envelope
   xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
   xmlns:ser="http://www.herongyang.com/Service/">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <ser:HelloRequest>Hello from client.</ser:HelloRequest>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
