Axis 2 - Is it possible to test operations through the web interface?

Short version of my quesiton: Is it possible to test a web service via the web page provided by the Axis 2 web application?

More detail: In the web page provided by Axis 2 (the one where all of your services are listed and you can view WSDLs and administer Axis 2), is there somewhere you can test operations for your service by entering input parameters and viewing the XML res开发者_如何学Pythonponses that are returned? In .NET, you can do this on .asmx pages that list all available operations and allow you to input parameters and view XML responses. However, in Axis 2, all I really see is the services listed, and clicking on them allows you to view the WSDL, but besides that, I don't see any functionality that would allow you to test right on the page. It would really just be convenient.

Ex. I have a service that lets me input product numbers (as POST parameters) and returns details of those products. Is there a way I can select the operation, enter the post data, post it, and view the response?

For webservice testing - you mention axis2, so I guess you talk about SOAP based services - I usually rely on soapUI.

In addition, I don't think that the axis 2 web admin app is intended to support functional webservice testing.

Besides using soapUI, as Andreas_D suggested, you can also use Eclipse to test the web service by calling it with request data and see its response.

Eclipse EE comes with a tool called Web Service Explorer which you can use to test a Web service.

Given access to the WSDL of the service, it creates a simple GUI to call all operations of the web service and also presents the result of the call. The source link in the GUI also allows you to view the SOAP source directly.

The web page provided by the Axis 2 web application only gives you details of the web service, its not meant for testing it with sample data.
