SoapUI is a useful little tool for reading wsdl files, from a URL or as a file. It can then generate default request messages for each method allowing you to go through and tailor a set of test data. It has been developed in Java and builds requests and displays responses from the web service. I’ve got version 1.5 which is completely suitable for my current needs, though I notice they are up to version 2.5 and they have a professional release.
TCPMon was part of the Apache Axis1 project, but it is now an independent Apache project. The only available version is 1.0, released in March 2006! TCPMon is useful for debugging traffic between any TCP client and server. You set up a local port and point it to a server and port. TCPMon then shows you the communication. Very useful for any TCP based project, especially so for SOAP.
