WebService Mock

WebService Mock is a very simple yet powerful tool for mocking WebServices.

Why WebService Mock?

• Mocking is achieved in a non intrusive way, without writing even a single line of code, which means no need to mock the service stubs.
• Can be used for stress or load testing the applications without hitting the actual WebServices. Your service providers may not agree always.
• You want to simulate different test scenarios or conditions without engaging/involving your service providers.

Getting started

1. Download the binary distribution from http://webservice-mock.googlecode.com/files/webservice-mock-1.0-BETA-bin.zip, which contains the main jar and the required libraries.
2. Download the json configuration from http://webservice-mock.googlecode.com/files/services.json and configure the service endpoint. Refer to the below section on how to configure.
3. Extract the zip from step 1 and run the below. I promise, you will definitely love this little tool.

java -jar webservice-mock-1.0-BETA.jar 2345 / /home/dchakr/testDir /home/dchakr/testDir/services.json

How to configure?

Below is a sample JSON configuration.

[
  { "hostName": "www.webservicex.net","port": 80,"contextPath": "/globalweather.asmx", "refreshInterval": 3,"mirrorEnabled": 		false,"detachHeader":true,"detachElementList":["Envelope/Body/GetCitiesByCountry/CountryName"],"ignoreOperationList":["GetWeather"],"directoryBrowsing":true},
  { "hostName": "graphical.weather.gov","port": 80,"contextPath": "/xml/SOAP_server/ndfdXMLserver.php", "refreshInterval": 5,"mirrorEnabled": true,"detachHeader":true,"detachElementList":[""],"ignoreOperationList":[""],"directoryBrowsing":true}
]

• hostName -
• port -
• contextPath -
• refreshInterval -
• mirrorEnabled -
• detachHeader -
