Tools for a Web Service World...

I’m in the process of preparing a Web Service “hands on” workshop. Therefore I was going to consolidate my favorite WS-tools. Here we go:

· SoapScope 3.0
sniffing SOAP messages and analyzing WSDL

· OmniOpera 1.5
creating, editing and viewing WSDL

· SOA Editor
creating, editing and viewing WSDL

· XmlSpy 2004 Home Edition
for all the XSD work

· WsContractFirst v0.2
proxy and server code generation (a replacement for wsdl.exe)

· WS-I Testing Tools
Analyzing WS-I BP 1.0a conformance of WSDL and SOAP messages

 

Missing your favorite tool? Pls let me know!

  .Net WebService Studio 2.0 is great for testing soap-only webservices.

  Any tool for generating the ASMX from the ASMX.CS files? That would be really nice to have too!!! Another thing I was thinking about is the ability to extend VS2005 to generate WS projects with separate interface files and implementation files (to help enforce this standard). I guess this can be done even now with enterprise templates?
