Testing web services with the Generic Service Client
The Generic Service Client allows testing of a greater variety of web services than other
testing mechanisms - such as JMS web services or secured web services.
Overview of web service testing with the Generic Service Client
The generic service client invokes calls to any kind of service that uses an HTTP, JMS, or WebSphere® MQ transport and views the message that is returned by the service. The generic service client is useful for debugging or testing a service when you do not have access to a dedicated client to invoke the service call. You can set up a large variety of transport and security configurations for the service, edit the parameters of the call and send attachments.
Invoking the generic service client from a WSDL file
You can invoke the generic service client from a WDL file. Before doing so, you will launch the generic service client and add a valid WSDL file to it.
