Sending XML

[zzpprk]

Guys

I am using soapUI to test a web service I have written snd it all works fine. Now I want to send the same request a large number of times to see how the web service copes.

I decided to write a Java class to do that. How can I send the same XML as I have in soapUI using Java?

Regards

Did you search the web. Simple search listed very good articles related with what you want.

I did sarch the web but found nothing! Please rpovide a link if you found lots of things.

Your basic requirement is to send and XML stream through a web service, right?

[zzpprk]

Yes, it is. I have the XML all build-up in soapUI and I want to send the same XML using Java. Can you help?

[Eranga]

Following articles not explains what you want exactly. But it's possible to done what you want using as a guideline.

Thanks for the examples. They seem to wirte XML contents from a file to a servlet response. I already have the XML contnet is a String; how can I send this as is to a web service? Sorry if I wasn't clear enough at the start!

[Eranga]

Ok, do you have a web service with you to accept web requests?

[zzpprk]

Yes. I have a web service running and I can invoke it using soapUI. It works as I am getting the expected response in soapUI.

[Eranga]

Then what's the matter that you couldn't sent a request stream to the server? Because of XML?

[zzpprk]

Because I do noy know the ins and outs of calling a web service using Java!

[Eranga]

So that's matter of you don't know how to call a web service in Java. Oh, I thought you stuck with how to send data through web calls.

Are you generate your XML stream with a Java client, basically a Java application?

Thanks for taking the time to help me up this learning curve!
I am looking at thast right now.
I don't quite understand what the following are.

namespace
portNane
operationName
serviceName

Please explain what those are.

[Eranga]

You don't know the meaning on namespace ? :o

[zzpprk]

Is is the same as in the XML request?
There are two in there!

[Eranga]

namespaces are conceptual space that group classes, variables, etc..

Web service also could be a collection of classes and all, and web service can include namespaces accordingly.

[zzpprk]

Do you mean the classes that are used to make-up the request and the response? I don't need to know anything about those classes as I will be sending raw XML.
Am I getting confused?
I certainly feel that way!

I understand that portName is the full URL to the web service and operationName is the name of the method I am calling. What about serviceName?
