"Microsoft InfoPath (full name Microsoft Office InfoPath) is an application used for developing XML-based data entry forms, initially released as part of Microsoft Office 2003 Professional. The main feature of InfoPath is its ability to author and view XML documents with one-to-many links among different data groups (schema)."

Are you sure, that this tool can serve as a web service client?

Maybe you put your question into a Microsoft forum.

Microsoft InfoPath does have Web Services support. Check the links below :

Quite interesting tool. Follow the below steps to test your web service -

MS InfoPath (I use version 2007) - > Click on Design a Form Template -> Choose "Web Service" -> Choose Receive and Submit Data -> <Provide Link to WSDL> ->Select Operation -> Next -> Next -> Select Operation -> Choose the Field(s) one by one -> Finish

You will be provided with a form. Drag and drop the input and output fields to the form from Data source on the left side.

Press CtrlShiftB to execute the service.

Regards,

TK

Hi Rasmiraj .

You can use SOAPui Tool. It´s free and very good tool.

I've always worked with it.

Best Regards.
