Test external webservice from any ABAP transaction or ABAP workbench

[former_member188019]

Hi,

Is there any option/way from ABAP workbench (or any other SAP tCode) to test an external webservice.

Basically i used to use tools like XMLSPY or SoapUI to check any external webserivice e.g. http://www.webservicex.net/CurrencyConvertor.asmx?WSDL

with this i could get confirmation that the webservice provider is indeed up and working.

these tools allowed me to create a request soap message (request payload) and send it to the endpoint, and showed the response soap message.

This kind of testing i would like to do from SAP ABAP workbench or any sap tCode.

what is the easiest way to test quickly.

thanks,

madhu.

Hi,

The easiest way is what you did : use SOAPUI.

There is no web service test client in an ABAP stack. The SAP web service navigator needs a JAVA stack.

Hi,

SOAP UI is definitely the easier option but you could generate the proxy class in ABAP workbench and test that as described here: [http://www.netweavercentral.com/?p=272|http://www.netweavercentral.com/?p=272]

At the moment we donot have access to javastack.

As the simple test client not available in abapstack, is there any doc/blog that can tell us how to utilize/consume external webservices (by creating proxies or someother way) in ABAP stack.

thanks again,

Madhu.
