I'm using curl to test my Web services sending SOAP Request. Right now I need some UI tools to generate the sample SOAP Request to be sent. Is there any shell tool (Fedora/RHEL) which lets you generate a SOAP Request from a WSDL ?
Thanks
Check this out, it is a download link for the new SOAP UI tool with added functionality you might require if you don't have it already.

Is there a way to find out if a webpage uses REST or SOAP web services in it's back-end? If there is a way then what is it?
Thank you
You can check the network requests using a browsers developer tools.
Checking the headers for text/xmland a SOAP envelope might indicate SOAP
If its using REST you can check to see the header method is using GET, PUT, POST, DELETE with application/json which might indicate REST

And an in depth explanation of what I mean by "might be":
Representational state transfer (REST) and Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP)
This is critical to my current project. I have written a client in C++ using Windows web services. This client talks to the Clickatell SMS SOAP web service. I have tested the request using the SOAPUI tool and get correct response. I also receive the SMS message. Now, when I do this programmatically it fails because the WsCall() [in the code generated from WSDL via wsutil.exe) inserts even though the SOAP request I have already includes Envelope and Body. I cannot take out my Envelope since I have namespace specified in it like this:
http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/\" xmlns:s=\"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/\" xmlns:xsd=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema\" xmlns:xsi=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance\" xmlns:SOAP-ENC=\"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/\" xmlns:tns=\"soap.clickatell.com\">
I know that the additional Envelope and Body are inserted since I see it in the Fiddler tool.
Any help I can get is highly appreciated!
Looks like you are using the older type rpc/encoded soap api.
Have you tried using the document/literal service?
(http://api.clickatell.com/soap/document_literal/webservice.php?wsdl)
have a wsdl link and I know the soap request what to send and lso the response format through the membrane soap ui client
I have written a simple html page having 3 fields which i pass through request format of soap and then i get a response based on it. This passing of request and validations are done in servlet which i call through action in form. Now i have a wsdl file link.
How should I use it to make request response from the servlet .please help me with code.
EDIT : THE WSDL CONTAINS WCF BASED SOAP SERVICE .
You have to build a web service client from wsdl using wsimport java utility, then you will get a webservice handle, using that you can build a request, send a request and get a response.

I am new to Spring web services. I am going to create an xml request, and send it as a SOAP request to a web service and receive the response.I read different documents but still confused as I could not find a working sample yet.
I know that I should use WebServiceTemplate and WebServiceMessageSender, SaajSoapmessageFactory (please let me know if I am wrong) but not sure how to use them.
Do I need WSDL? if yes why?
If you have any sample code please send me to get clear on it.
Thanks
If you want to send SOAP requests, you would like to be a SOAP client. Seems like you want to use spring-ws project. Check out their great documentation on the client side. The same documentation will guide you through the process of creating a server. There are plenty of examples and ready-made configuration snippets waiting for you.
Spring-WS is built on top of XML Schema description of your message, so you will need WSDL to generate e.g. JAXB models of your requests and responses.
AFAIK, for "web services" , the WSDL file is the machine blueprint of the "ports" as they are called However! ports in WSDL "means" java language(or any other programming language used with a routine or sub or procedure or function) method and has a specific naming scheme associate the .wsdl xml file(template of the service). Each WSDL port(language method) has specifications of return value and data specifications for how to feed it arguments and their type values.
I generated a client using the weblogic.wsee.tools.anttasks.ClientGenTask from weblogic. Now I want to insert custom soap headers before sending out the request. How do I go about doing that? All of the examples on the web for inserting headers are specific to the library used in the generation (Axis, etc).
Thanks!

Google "Client Handler Chain". Extend GenericHandler and setup a handler xml before generating your client.
Cheers!
