Dummy web service

Question

I received a WSDL file for a web service interface that our system should call somewhere in the future.

Until then, I'd like to setup a dummy/mockup web service that does nothing else than to log the web service invocations and return dummy data.

What I've done so far is to generate Java objects from the WSDL file.

What's the fastest way to setup such a mockup web service when you already have an application server (here: JBoss) running?

Answer 1

We just faced this same problem, and found SoapUI to be the perfect tool. Given a WSDL it'll create a service on your machine you can call, and it allows you to edit the response as you need.
