Creating WebService test harness

Question

Hello,

I am trying to create a test harness for our QA staff to test our internal web services. I would like to create a web app that will allow them to enter a uri then submit. The web app will then interrogate the uri to get the appropriate parameters expected and returns with a generated input form. I know, this would be similar to SOAPUI and others. However, I feel it would be earier for them to be able to just use a form with entry fields and click a button to invoke the service and get the results back for display in the web app. In addition, I could create some custom logic that allows them to generate specific behavior they need.

Has anybody done anything like this? I have searched and have found similar functionality but nothing close enough to help me. If you need more details please let me know.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

You mentioned SOAPUI, but do you know that SOAPUI Pro has what you are asking for? An Automatic form editor from the WSDL - see the SOAPUI link here for screenshot. You can get a two week trial for free and it's about $350 for a license, which is almost certainly cheaper than building it yourself.
