WS-I monitor?

I am rather new to web services and want to know how to run the WSI Monitor. I have Eclipse and Axis. If you know of any good resources, please let me know. I can't seem to find a step-by-step tutorial on this.

I'm not sure what you mean by "WS-I monitor".

If you want to monitor SOAP messages flowing back and forth, then Axis has two for you: TCPMon is a standalone application, and SOAPMonitor is a JAX-RPC handler for the server. Both are mentioned (and described, to a degree) in the Axis user guide. The Web Services FAQ, which is linked in my signature, has a link to a HOW-TO article on SOAPMonitor.

Well the WS-I seems to be solid standards for WSDL and Web Services implementation. Here is a link to their website.

I am just checking to see if anyone has used the tools with their web services.

Thanks

Interesting, I didn't know about this effort. But I didn't see anything suggesting that you actually download those tools; maybe that's for members only?

These can be downloaded. I have them on my machine. I just can't figure out how to run monitoring tools on my web service.

Here is the messge I sent to WS-I...

I am pretty new to web services and Java. I have a web service build through axis and want to monitor it through WS-I. My web service is at http://localhost:8080/axis/services/OrderLookupService on my machine. Do I just use the monitorConfig.xml in the sample folder? Do I need to move it out of the folder? In the monitorConfig.xml file it has
<wsi-monConfig:redirect>
<wsi-monConfig:comment>This is a redirect example for local Retailer Sample App on port 8080.</wsi-monConfig:comment>
<wsi-monConfig:listenPort>80</wsi-monConfig:listenPort>
<wsi-monConfig:schemeAndHostPort>http://localhost:8080</wsi-monConfig:schemeAndHostPort>
<wsi-monConfig:maxConnections>1000</wsi-monConfig:maxConnections>
<wsi-monConfig:readTimeoutSeconds>15</wsi-monConfig:readTimeoutSeconds>
</wsi-monConfig:redirect>

This seems to be ok, but do I need to change this for my webservice? I am running a client and getting the following SOAP, so I know it is working.

SOAP REQUEST:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"><soapenv:Body><getInvoiceNumber soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"><arg0 xsi:type="soapenc:string" xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">2</arg0></getInvoiceNumber></soapenv:Body></soapenv:Envelope>

SOAP RESPONSE:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"><soapenv:Body><getInvoiceNumberResponse soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"><getInvoiceNumberReturn xsi:type="xsd:int">13</getInvoiceNumberReturn></getInvoiceNumberResponse></soapenv:Body></soapenv:Envelope>
13

Thanks for any help on this.
