What do you recommend using for graphically visualizing a WSDL?

Question

I'm looking for a good solution for graphically viewing a SOAP-based web service and possibly interacting with it (for testing purposes). Online (browser-based) solutions would be interesting too.

This looks like something you wanted: [http://www.soapclient.com/SoapTest.html](http://www.soapclient.com/SoapTest.html) — icl7126, Jan 01 '16 at 20:09

Very handy tool for converting WSDL into nice HTML documentation - and unlike some tools I've tried (including Oxygen) it actually displays the request and response message structures against the operations, rather than just referring to the message part name... Thanks for the link! – ChrisC Jul 14 '11 at 02:22
Is this link dead (for good)? – gkubed Aug 26 '16 at 12:26

I've had success with a combination of the Elipse WTP WSDL Editor and SoapUI.

Eclipse WTP WSDL Editor -http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Introduction_to_the_WSDL_Editor

SoapUI - http://www.soapui.org/

To add this into Eclipse, add the following repository: http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/repository/indigo/ then browse packages – Dax Dec 06 '13 at 10:15

I have used SOAP UI with success in the past:

http://www.soapui.org/information/WSDL_Test.html?gclid=CMOpgKnAjpgCFRBbagodxyzOqg

It allows you test methods and to see if your WSDL passes current standards.

I'd say that soapUI beats it as far as testing goes. – John Saunders Oct 14 '09 at 15:21

If you just want to view it, try https://code.google.com/p/wsdl2html/ . It's simple.
