Hi Ole,
This is goin' to be a pretty big post.
I have used a free WS which is available over the net. This is the link to that WS/site.
http://www.holidaywebservice.com/Holidays/default.aspx and the endpoint is
http://www.holidaywebservice.com/Holidays/HolidayService.asmx The original WSDL for the WS is available at
http://www.holidaywebservice.com/Holidays/HolidayService.asmx?WSDLThe below WSDL, is edited by me. I have removed most of the content from the original WSDL. I have retained just one request message, one response message, one operation for GetCountriesAvailable

I created a test case with GetCountriesAvailable and the request-response works fine.
Now for this same edited WSDL, i created another test case, with a request that is not mentioned in the edited WSDL. It is GetHolidaysAvailable. This request is supposed to get a list of all the holidays for a particular country. (Please see the main site for more info on this 'cause this post will get real lengthy if i have to post the requests and responses).
But the response i received for GetHolidaysAvailable was not correct. It was the response for GetCountriesAvailable.
I checked the http log. The log shows response for GetCountriesAvailable.
Just to add to this, when i create any request, SoapUI presents me an option to choose from a list of operations which are present in the WSDL. In this case, for the edited WSDL, i get only one operation for GetCountriesAvailable. I had a doubt if this could be a problem for the wrong response for a request that did not exist in the WSDL.
Now my queries are,
1. If i assume that this WS does not have a WSDL, is the above WSDL (that i have edited and posted above) sufficient to access the entire WS, including the requests-responses that are not present in the WSDL?
2. If not, how sud i edit the WSDL in order to make the above requirement work? Also, can i edit the above WSDL to simplify it further?
3. You have suggested that i create a dummy-WSDL with only one operation. Is the WSDL i have created correct? Else, how should i prepare a dummy-WSDL?
I would be really greatful if you could help me with this problem.
Thanks in advance,
KC.
