XMLSpy® 2010 includes full SOAP capabilities including a SOAP client for interpreting WSDL (Web Services Description Language) documents, creating SOAP requests, submitting them to a Web service, and viewing the SOAP response. It also includes the powerful SOAP Debugger.
In addition to SOAP 1.1, XMLSpy, supports the latest version of the standard, 1.2, allowing you to create and test Web services messages using SOAP 1.2 or SOAP 1.1. According to the W3C, benefits of version 1.2 are increased interoperability, better Web integration, increased versatility, and faster speed. Now that XMLSpy supports both SOAP 1.1 and 1.2, you have the choice of which version you wish to implement in your Web services applications.

SOAP Debugger
The XMLSpy SOAP debugger acts as a Web services proxy between a Web services client and server, allowing you to inspect WSDL 1.1/2.0 files, single-step through Web services transactions sent over HTTP or HTTPS, inspect every request and response XML document, set breakpoints on SOAP functions (either on the request or on the response), and even define conditional breakpoints that trigger when a certain request or response contains selected data that is specified by means of an XPath query.

XMLSpy® 2010 is the ONLY tool on the market that lets you tackle real-world Web services development on all of the major Web services platforms, including Microsoft .NET, Eclipse, and Java 2 Enterprise Edition! SOAP and WSDL Client Interface With XMLSpy® 2010, you can open any existing WSDL 1.1/2.0 document and immediately learn about the functions the corresponding Web service provides: 
Then, you can select one of these functions to automatically create a SOAP request message, fill in the data, and send it to the Web service via HTTP or HTTPS.
The SOAP response message is received and displayed.
This feature includes complete support for highly structured data (e.g., using complexTypes as parameters or in the result set). Web Services ExamplesTo experiment with the SOAP test functionality in XMLSpy, we suggest that you try out some of these Web services. To open the SOAP client, select SOAP --> Create SOAP Request, and a dialog box will appear. Copy and paste one of the URL below to inspect the Web service.  | NanoNull Time | | http://www.nanonull.com/TimeService/TimeService.asmx?wsdl | | | | | | |
Then select one of these functions to automatically create a SOAP request message in the SOAP client, fill in the data, and send it to the Web service. As a result, the SOAP response message is received and displayed. Another good source of Web services example sites is operated by XMethods. When using their list, please observe that most Delphi implementations currently do not work properly. This is because they do not interpret WSDL files correctly.
