Web service (SOAP) support

Post by craigjeffrey »

Any idea when you will have a test for checking web services (SOAP)?

A previous post suggested that it would be available soon.

Thanks Craig

This task had medium priority. Then we discovered simpy workaround - you may use Shell Script and MSSOAP.SoapClient object, so we lowered task priority.

Soap client

Shell Script:

The Microsoft SOAP Toolkit is deprecated by the .NET Framework. SOAP Toolkit support will be retired in April 2005.

Is this what you recommend using for SOAP monitoring?

On Windows Vista/2008/7 you may use PowerShell scripts with [WebRequest] and [Xml] classes.
However we still plan to implement SOAP test method before version 9.00

BTW:
Old SOAP SDK works on Windows 2008 as well.
SDK available at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta ... laylang=en
Note: in order to create SopaClient you should use CreateObject("MSSOAP.SoapClient30") command

Probably in December 2010, unless some other tasks with higher priority will delay this option again.
