I'm looking for the best tool that allows me to construct my own http requests. Like the firefox addon poster.
Any suggestions. I'm looking at doing some security testing on webservices.
Thanks
Fiddler2 is the best tool I know of for that kind of work .. massive amount of features for scripting building requests, as well as storing sessions for later analysis.
cURL is a nice command-line tool.
Tamper Data
Apache JMeter
soapUI is great for testing web services.
WebScarab from the Open Web Application Security Project.

In Laravel 4 framework, how to create a SOAP based web service. I would like to build a SOA based web application in laravel. Please clarify with an example how to use web service with some step by step examples or links as i am completely new to laravel
Thanks in advance..
You can use "php-wsdl-creator" (also supports SOAP). They have a great tutorial and many demo php files to get you started. It can also easily be implemented in laravel or any other framework for that matter. :)
You can find more information on Google Code: https://code.google.com/p/php-wsdl-creator/
Also note that SOAP requires an extension to be loaded in PHP.
For more recent needs, you should use a Project such as wsdl2phpgenerator or PackageGenerator from WsdlToPhp. This sort of projects, requirable with composer, use an OOP approach and allows to build a SOAP request easily with PHP objects then handle the response just as the request with PHP objects.
Any help here will be greately appreciated :)
Wanted to check if anyone has used ZAPProxy for performing the security testing on the RESTfull WebServices (API). I know this tool provides good out of the box features for doing security testing on WebSites but I'm not sure how effective it on on the WebServices. I know I can use SOAPUI but I have heard that is not comprehensive.
Please suggest !
I use it for making SQL-Injection attack tests.
Great tool!
Receive the manual browsing data of your intercepting proxy via REST Webservices, process the the data, resend malicious web request, evaluate response and if you're not sure in your program if the response is right display it in an eclipse RCP webbrowser.
I have a requirement to kickoff a workflow which is in salesforce.com thorugh web service from UNIX box. Can any one suggest me options or guide lines to achive this scenario?
I don't think you can just "kick off workflows". You'll have to perform an insert or update of records in Salesforce that will satisfy the workflow's entry criteria.
There's a Java tool called Data Loader for your basic data manipulation activities (you can download it from your own production org)
and it can be scripted for scheduled runs, has config file where you can store user's password in secure way etc. Check out the pdf guide for more ("Command Line Quick Start" chapter)
So I don't think you really need a webservice call...
Unless I misunderstood and you're talking about calling an Apex class' method that has "webservice" keyword and it will somehow perform the updates?
In that case you'll need to download the WSDL file generated for this class (Setup->Develop->Classes) and well, consume it in language of your choice (Java, PHP, Python... this link will help, steps aren't too different), then do your command line magic?
http://wiki.developerforce.com/page/Integration has tons of resources for you :)
Salesforce uses SOAP for their web service. They don't have restful web services now. Just request them to give the wsdl file.
Use this wsdl file to generate the java code. After that get their webService url so that you can proceed with your data pulling
This link may help you..

I am trying to set up a web store using magento on a SOA Architecture. So I intend to use all of the functionalities through the API connecting it with mule ESB.
However on my research I have read that the magento API is Silly Slow. And now I am wondering if it actually can handle the requests of an entire website.
Has anybody done something like this before? Can it actually work? If not, is there a workaround?
Regards
Leo
No, it is not viable to setup a store using only Magento's SOAP and RPC APIs. THat is not the intention of these APIs.
There are examples where people have done what you are looking for such as http://www.yireo.com/software/magebridge
They claim to be 40% faster than native Magento.
I've tried the tool, and it is quite functional.
I'm a starting a project which consist in sending a request to a web-service (which is already available) and parsing the response. I have the WSDL and URL endpoints. Does anyone have a startup tutorial on how to build something from there?
I would like to use Axis2 + Axiom to send the service request and receive and process the response. I'm using eclipse as dev env. I've been search for a tut on how to do this but with no success.
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated!
this might help you

I don't know about Axiom, but SOAP UI is a terrific tool for testing web services in just the manner you describe.
I don't know if Eclipse has a plug-in for it. (They do for everything else.) IntelliJ supports it, so that's how I use it.
Well in conclusion, I did find two very useful links for the Apache axis2 project, got it working in no time!
