Generate SOAP requests on the fly, based on WSDL

Question

I'd like to build a simple test harness for the various web services consumed by my application that I can run in my staging or production environment to verify that the web services are working and see what data their web methods are returning.

Is there a way I can generate a SOAP request based on the WSDL provided by a web service at run time (i.e. without adding a web reference to my project and creating a proxy for the web service)?

Answer 1

Check out SoapUI (http://www.soapui.org/). It's the only tool I've ever needed for testing Web Services.

Answer 2

You can try using Castle Dynamic Proxy.
