I found this little library to be perfect solution for my problem. It allows you to stub REST service responses easily.
Now i need to replicate the same set of test cases in PHP version of our library. Do you know any similar library/framework in PHP?
You could use Guzzle. Guzzle is a PHP HTTP client & framework for building RESTful web service clients. The thing is that you can create Response objects. In this library, you have a Response class. You could just create the Guzzle Response that you want (choosing the desired status code, content, etc), and mock your HTTP Client so it returns the Response object that you just created.
If you read the documentation, it seems that there is a plugin to mock responses, although I've never used it.

While developing a web application I have the following use case:
a 3rd party Web Service with quite a lot of methods is deployed on a test server A (with a single endpoint, e.g. http://3rdPartyServer/3rdPartySvc?WSDL)
a new method is about to be implemented in the near future, but I need to use it now
the rest of the methods are used throughout my code extensively
So I would like to do the following:
Create a mock service in SoapUI locally, based on the new WSDL which includes the new WS method (i.e. a superset of the WS methods currently on server A)
point my local application server to use the SoapUI mock service endpoint
mock only the response of the new WS method (create a dummy response for it in SoapUI)
let the other WS method calls to reach server A and return whatever it returns normally (i.e. use SoapUI as a proxy for these calls)
I've gone through the SoapUI documentation regarding service mocking and have used it numerous times, but could not find an option for such "pass-through" behavior.
When you read in your WSDL, the endpoint will point to your server.
Open your service, and select the service endpoint.
Add a second endpoint, to point to your mock. SoapUI has little bit of documentation showing this here. Only step "2. Getting Started" applies, not step 3!
In each of your tests, where you are using the mocked method, you will need to select the mock endpoint. Further discussion is here.
I am new to web services. I have a requirement in my project. They gave me a wsdl file and a web service link and document about the description of methods.
In the documentation there is method called retriveDocuments with request parameters request, loginUser, loginPassword, systemId, maxResults, searchCriteria.
They want me call webservice and get the required documents and show them in app.
My question is how do I call web service and how do I pass all these parameters and get the result?
Most likely this a SOAP service. Your programming language (such as Java) should have tools allowing you to generate a SOAP client for the service, using the WSDL. Once you have the cient code, it should be easy to pass your parameters, make the call, and get the result. There are lots of tutorials on the Web, but you can start researching from there.
Is there a way to use angularJS as SOAP client or develop ng SOAP client service?
Sure. All what you need this is implement SOAP call on JavaScript. For example Simplest SOAP example using Javascript
In addition to that SO article from the main answer, you can probably use the $http service instead of using the XmlHttpRequest web API. The reason I would use $http instead is that it gives you promises and easier HTTP method handling out of the box.
Otherwise, this custom Angular $soap service posted on this SO, might give you what you want, which is also on Github.
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 am looking to make a service agent in C# from scratch. If the contracts/XSD are shareable via WSDL or dll. How do I go about writing a light weight service agent that can be configured to make calls to the SOAP webservice. When you do an add reference I feel too much code is generated behind my back.
You can post data to a webservice using the following url structure:
http://mydomain.com/mywebservicedirectory/mywebservice.asmx/mywebservicemethod
Simply use an HTTP POST to pass data(typically xml/json) to the service and process the response.
I use a bassic soap template and XSLT to render it out for what I want. It isn't that fun if you need to call multiple methods. I'm simply calling the same method over and over so it's no big deal. Simple HTTP POST will do it, that's all WCF/ASMX does.
You can get the WSDL and use XSD.exe to generate the object classes for you.
