Programming against WSDL without access to actual webservice?

Nice. Thanks for that link. – Brian Sep 18 '09 at 7:00 Its perfactly ok to ask here without googling.

This thread should be the first hit when someone google! – Carl Bergquist Sep 18 '09 at 7:02 No objection to that. This was no critique, just an info where the link came from.

You can also try SOAP UI for mocking up service with ease. (Free web service testing tool) Check: soapui.org/gettingstarted/mocking.html.

The svcutil. Exe tool bundled with the Windows SDK (found at C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0\Bin) is a nice command line tool that generates WCF client proxies. I've found this to be a good way to interrogate a WSDL.It'll create an interface for the service and then a proxy class that implements that interface.

You can then mock up something else that implements that interface to facilitate testing.

It is easy to create your own server side stub. Assuming you want to do it with WCF, then go here. You can then add some basic logic to get your client working.

You can also use the legacy Web Service functionality via the WSDL tool's /Server option, though I recommend you use WCF.

You may also want to try a product like "Fiddler" (fiddler2.com) It allows you to capture HTTP (or HTTPS) packets and send a fake automated reply file back as if the server had sent the response. I use it for my project and it works wonders when the test server goes offline (which is often). I take an old response packet, save it as a text file, then send it back again and the application I'm building has no idea it didn't come from the actual host.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
