Test of Web Service w/o Web Service Homepage?

[Former Member]

Hi all Web Service experts!

I have created a WS out of a RFC-based ABAP function module, via WS Wizard.

Now I can retreive the WSDL definition quite fine, so I wanted to check out (ie. test)

the WS itself now.

I followed this SAP help page:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/38/1b893f17493c17e10000000a114084/content.htm

Unfortunately, we do not have the J2EE-Stack running on our application server

(ABAP only), so I can't call the Web Service Homepage. May question therefore:

How else can I test the new Web Service now?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Kind regards, Matthias

hi matthias,

it would be helpful if you told us the release you're working on since things are quite different in this area from one release to another.

if you're not on the latest release but no a very old either you might want to try transaction WSADMIN and use the "Show WSDL" function there.

Personally I like the (free version of the) program "soapui" (google it) to test webservices indepentendtly from any SAP tools.

kind regards,

Hi Anton,

sorry, we are using Netweaver 7.0 (ECC 6.0).

I know about WSDL, as said I want to test the WS itself.

hi,

using SoapUI I download the service into a new project by its WSDL, let the programm define default requests, fill all the parameters (in an XML view, the PRO version has some form generator I think) and run the request against the server.

The great thing is that you see the full HTTP request and of course the payload.

maybe give it a try. XMLSpy also has some similar features AFAIK.
