Re: Need to View SOAP Messages Between Client and Web Service

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

The issue here is that the person who is writing a client to my service is
not using such a tool and is having difficulty. I hope someone can provide a
tip or a reference that explains how to view SOAP messages in VS2005 Web
services.

Thanks as always,

We have a person who is writing
a desktop application using a non-Microsoft development tool. He is
generating the requests manually and is having some difficulties.

Modern development tools be it Java, PHP, Classic ASP, VB6, etc. all
support web services in one form or another.

I
have a Windows test harness application, also written with VS2005,
that makes calls to the service without any problems. Is there a way
to capture the request messages so that I can show him from live
examples how to format the messages. He has the WSDL but is still
having problems.

You can use an application like TCP trace to capture requests, but I
suggest you get the developer to learn web services... because if the WSDL
changes, his custom code will probably break.

If your developer is unable to use webservices, choose an alternative
technology, i.e. something simplier such as an ASP.NET web page which takes
an XML POST.
