May be this has been asked before but i coud'nt find a proper tool to do this.
What is the best tool to place in the middle of a RESTful webservice and monitor it without port redirection.
Something like TCPMON which will show the full request from the client and the response from the server. For example if the response contain a JSON i should be able to view that??
Charles Proxy is great for logging the full request/response for HTTP connections.

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
SEE:
How can I debug a HTTP POST in Chrome?
And an in depth explanation of what I mean by "might be":
Representational state transfer (REST) and Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP)
I have seen some of the SOAP- Example- Mediators. I have not found a transformation based on the endpoint-WSDL.
I want to send some nested named array in json or POX and that data should go into a complete namespaced headered (username, password) SOAP-Request based on the names.
All the examples I have found had either a very simple wsdl or the namespaces were static in the XSL-Transformation.
It should be possible to do that, as I see in for example php-NuSOAP. You feed it with a wsdl-endpoint, the operation you want to execute and the parameter-array, and it calls the Webservice.
I am looking for a solution which is not too much hardcoded for every single service, so the proxy still works when the wsdl changes and Server Clients get changed.
As far as I understand the payload factory mediator in (https://stackoverflow.com/a/12969814/2277620) you would have to hardcode the soap-format in the mediator.
If WSO2 is the wrong tool for that I'd like to have a hint which tool could help.
Thanks in advance!

For my understanding, you want to have a proxy, but it's backend service/wsdl may vary..
What , you can do is, you can save the wsdl (dynamic wsdl)in registry and point that in your proxy. whenever you edit the wsdl, proxy will automatically adopt to that..But the request, which you send to your backend should follow the wsdl definitions..It is totally client side responsibility..
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 have an ASPX page. When the page is loaded there is code in the code behind that uses an API. The API makes an HTTPS call out to a third party, commercial web service. I am trying to troubleshoot why the API calls are not working properly. Apparently the API actually constructs an XML request that is sent out over HTTPS to the web service. I've been told by the support rep that I need to provide them with the XML that is being sent. The only way I can figure out how to get the XML is to use a tool like Fiddler to see what is being sent out. So how can I use Fiddler to see the contents of the XML request that is being sent from the server out to the web service? I am running everything directly on the server but all I am seeing is the GET request for the ASPX file itself. I am not seeing anything in relation to the HTTPS request that the server code is sending out to the web service. I have not used Fiddler much so I am hoping that maybe I just don't have it set up right to monitor that traffic.

After mucking around with it a bit I found this post: Why isn't fiddler capturing request when invoking XMLRPC from iis?. That seemed to do the trick! Basically it sounds like the default proxy settings in Win7 are on a per user basis. So I went in and changed the identity of the AppPool for my site to a local user (Administrator) and then it worked great. I started up Fiddler. Then I started up my ASP.NET app and then when I loaded the page I saw the request that went out to the web service from my code behind! Yay!
I want to send an XML file to a Web Service.
The Web Service is a java application.
I know the endpoint of the Web Service.
Typically I know I have to create the request and send it as an http/https request.
What I want to know is what would I have to make to send the request - as in what development tool could I use e.g. Visual Web Developer (preffered as I am familiar with this) or Visual Studio? And what sends the request - e.g. another Web Service, a Website etc?
Where do I even begin with this?
Any comments are much appreciated.

One purpose of a Webservice is loose coupling. So it depends on what you want to do. You can write a simple program in what ever language which constructs a request and sends it. You can write a Webservice on its own which uses the other Webservice to handle it's own requests.
You can handle this in a very simple or complex way. You only need to be able to generate a request (per xml) and send it.
