Can anybody suggest a free or shareware tool.

I want essentally to send a SOAP request as I am trying do the RFC to SOAP scenario. I also want to do/learn little bit of XSLT.

You can download freeware Altova XMl spy for sending SOAP requests.

It is a webservice client application and you can go through the weblog for sending SOAP requests.

Actually coming to think of it I don't think I need a XML tool since the request is going to be sent by RFC. Is that right? I am implementing the scenario based on the article written by you Vijay. Good article

well in any case the tool can help u in many ways. First you can check if the WS is available or it is down. there are also many other uses.

Sonia,

exactly. If u have RFC->SOAP scenario, u don't need tool for SOAP. If u want to catch the outgoing SOAP call from XI, use some network listener and forward SOAP adapter URL to this one. I used for example netcat tool, ran it on my PC on port 80 (listening) and forwarded SOAP adapter to this. I could see then the message sent from XI. (of coursem if u have sync scenario, it won't work.. You need real working web service then...)

When u'll use SOAP->anything scenario, I can advice u soapUI tool. Free, just import XI interface's WSDL and u can send data to XI simulating real requests.
