Basically I was looking for something that was web service implementation agnostic. So SOAP would not be required for instance. >Unless you are testing something after you deploy, this works great (unless it is an RPG based service). Note that RPG can conform to WSDL and SOAP the same as any other language. I am working on some tutorials to that end that I hope to publish in the near future on http://mowyourlawn.com/blog. >After deployment, I can use the TCPMonitor for Axis since it will intercept the request and display it. I dug into this a little more as my first attempt at TCPMonitor was not successful. I had it monitor my Tomcat install and it tracked my Tapestry application throughput just fine. This is a very interesting tool in that it basically acts like a port redirector/documenter. Thanks for reminding me about it! I am guessing these libraries are open to use so this would make a nice addition to a tool like WSUnitTest!

What are you looking for? What I liked about the Web Services Explorer was the ability to navigate to a WSDL in a project and then select the methods that were exposed as services and send data to that service and receive a response. Unless you are testing something after you deploy, this works great (unless it is an RPG based service). After deployment, I can use the TCPMonitor for Axis since it will intercept the request and display it. Since it is a proxy, it may not be limited to AXIS calls, it may intercept any TCP traffic on a given port and then forward it. Haven't tried that though and it certainly wouldn't let you make changes. I'll take a look at what you have.
