Hi Everyone, I have set up a Web Services Gateway for everyone to use for demo purpose. You can go to http://soapknox.servehttp.com:8080 and start using the gateway. Here is the brief overview as to how it works:
The gateway acts as a proxy or a conduit to the actual Web service. It also has other neat features. There are two parts to using the gateway: 1) Manage Web service through GUI 2) Consuming Web service. You use the GUI to add Web service to the gateway and specify the target endpoint URL of the actual Web sevice. Target endpoint URL is where the Web service is actually hosted. Then invoke that Web service at the gateway at this target endpoint URL http://soapknox.servehttp.com:8080/axis/servlet/AxisServlet The gateway will then invoke the actual web service and will give you back the results. You can then go to http://soapknox.servehttp.com:8080 and view bunch of statistics related to the service invocation like service response time etc. I have setup two sample Web services in the gateway (Temperature Service and Stock Service). These services are hosted at http://www.xmethods.net. To learn more about using the SoapKnox Gateway, go to: http://www.soapknox.com/soapknox-user-guide-1.0.html I am looking for some feedback. If you have any, please send them to me. Also, you can contact me if you have any questions or comments. Thanks in advance for using it. SP http://www.soapknox.com
