How to consume JAX-WS published web-service using soapUI client?

Use of soapUI client for consuming the JAX-WS web-services

In the earlier post I mentioned how to create web-services using JAX-WS(Java API). Below is the link given:-

http://www.javatechtipssharedbygaurav.com/2013/05/how-to-create-web-services-using-jax.html

In the above link I also mentioned the process of creating client program but suppose that i don't want to create client program then in that case we can use soapUI tool as a client. Now I will tell how to use soapUI in order to test JAX-WS web-service.

Steps to test JAX-WS web-service with soapUI Client :-

• Open soapUI, I am using 4.5.1 version of soapUI.

• Go to File menu and select New soapUI project

• Give the path of the wsdl file, where we published our services during the creation of web-service using JAX-WS. The example is shown below:-

• Click on OK button.

• Now the soapUI project structure will be displayed as below:-

• Now double click on Request 1 inside getFactorial method in GenericMethodsImplPortBinding, it will display below screen:-

• The Generated request for the getFactorial method is like below, pass any number in the arg0 parameter like 9. It will display the response as below:-

Test Number - 1

• Soap Request for getFactorial method:-

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ser="http://services.jaxws.gaurav.com/">

   <soapenv:Header/>

   <soapenv:Body>

      <ser:getFactorial>

         <!--Optional:-->

         <arg0>9</arg0>

      </ser:getFactorial>

   </soapenv:Body>

</soapenv:Envelope>

• Soap Response for getFactorial method:-

<S:Envelope xmlns:S="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">

   <S:Body>

      <ns2:getFactorialResponse xmlns:ns2="http://services.jaxws.gaurav.com/">

         <return>Factorial of given number 9 is 362880</return>

      </ns2:getFactorialResponse>

   </S:Body>

</S:Envelope>

Test Number - 2

• soap request for Negative scenario when sending string instead of number in the request argument:-

• Pass any string for the arg0 parameter like “Gaurav”, now the request which I am sending to get the response is available below:-

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ser="http://services.jaxws.gaurav.com/">

   <soapenv:Header/>

   <soapenv:Body>

      <ser:getFactorial>

         <!--Optional:-->

         <arg0>Gaurav</arg0>

      </ser:getFactorial>

   </soapenv:Body>

</soapenv:Envelope>

• Response for the Negative scenario is available below:-

<S:Envelope xmlns:S="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">

   <S:Body>

      <ns2:getFactorialResponse xmlns:ns2="http://services.jaxws.gaurav.com/">

         <return>Not a Valid Number</return>

      </ns2:getFactorialResponse>

   </S:Body>

</S:Envelope>

• Similarly we can do the testing for getOddAndEven method request and getPrimeNumber method request. I am proceeding with the both methods testing. Below are soap request available for the requests and their corresponding response :-

Test Number - 3

• soap Request Test for Even number:-

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ser="http://services.jaxws.gaurav.com/">

   <soapenv:Header/>

   <soapenv:Body>

      <ser:getOddAndEven>

         <!--Optional:-->

         <arg0>18</arg0>

      </ser:getOddAndEven>

   </soapenv:Body>

</soapenv:Envelope>

• Response for Even number Request :-

<S:Envelope xmlns:S="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">

   <S:Body>

      <ns2:getOddAndEvenResponse xmlns:ns2="http://services.jaxws.gaurav.com/">

         <return>18 is even number</return>

      </ns2:getOddAndEvenResponse>

   </S:Body>

</S:Envelope>

                                                                       Test Number - 4

• soap Request Test for Odd number:-
  

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ser="http://services.jaxws.gaurav.com/">

   <soapenv:Header/>

   <soapenv:Body>

      <ser:getOddAndEven>

         <!--Optional:-->

         <arg0>23</arg0>

      </ser:getOddAndEven>

   </soapenv:Body>

</soapenv:Envelope>

• Response for Odd number Request:-

<S:Envelope xmlns:S="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">

   <S:Body>

      <ns2:getOddAndEvenResponse xmlns:ns2="http://services.jaxws.gaurav.com/">

         <return>23 is odd number</return>

      </ns2:getOddAndEvenResponse>

   </S:Body>

</S:Envelope>

Test Number - 5

•  soap Request Test for Negative scenario’s by passing string instead of number:-
  

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ser="http://services.jaxws.gaurav.com/">

   <soapenv:Header/>

   <soapenv:Body>

      <ser:getOddAndEven>

         <!--Optional:-->

         <arg0>Kumar Gaurav</arg0>

      </ser:getOddAndEven>

   </soapenv:Body>

</soapenv:Envelope>

• soap Response for Negative scenario’s when passed string instead of number as in above request:-

<S:Envelope xmlns:S="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">

   <S:Body>

      <ns2:getOddAndEvenResponse xmlns:ns2="http://services.jaxws.gaurav.com/">

         <return>Not a Valid Number</return>

      </ns2:getOddAndEvenResponse>

   </S:Body>

</S:Envelope>

Test Number - 6

• soap Request Test for getPrimeNumber method(positive scenario’s):-
  

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ser="http://services.jaxws.gaurav.com/">

   <soapenv:Header/>

   <soapenv:Body>

      <ser:getPrimeNumber>

         <!--Optional:-->

         <arg0>53</arg0>

      </ser:getPrimeNumber>

   </soapenv:Body>

</soapenv:Envelope>

• soap Response Test for getPrimeNumber method(positive scenario’s):-

<S:Envelope xmlns:S="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">

   <S:Body>

      <ns2:getPrimeNumberResponse xmlns:ns2="http://services.jaxws.gaurav.com/">

         <return>53 is Prime Number</return>

      </ns2:getPrimeNumberResponse>

   </S:Body>

</S:Envelope>

                         

Test Number - 7

•  soap Request Test for getPrimeNumber method(Negative scenario’s):-
  

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ser="http://services.jaxws.gaurav.com/">

   <soapenv:Header/>

   <soapenv:Body>

      <ser:getPrimeNumber>

         <!--Optional:-->

         <arg0>99</arg0>

      </ser:getPrimeNumber>

   </soapenv:Body>

</soapenv:Envelope>

• soap Response Test for getPrimeNumber method(Negative scenario’s):-

<S:Envelope xmlns:S="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">

   <S:Body>

      <ns2:getPrimeNumberResponse xmlns:ns2="http://services.jaxws.gaurav.com/">

         <return>99 is not Prime Number</return>

      </ns2:getPrimeNumberResponse>

   </S:Body>

</S:Envelope>

Test Number - 8

•  soap Request Test for getPrimeNumber method(Negative scenario’s) by passing string instead of number:-
  

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ser="http://services.jaxws.gaurav.com/">

   <soapenv:Header/>

   <soapenv:Body>

      <ser:getPrimeNumber>

         <arg0>Gaurav Kumar</arg0>

      </ser:getPrimeNumber>

         <return>Not a Valid Number</return>

      </ns2:getPrimeNumberResponse>

   </S:Body>

</S:Envelope>

Finally, This is the way to create soapUI test client for testing or consuming the JAX-WS webservices.
