Continued Development with Axis after Initial Stages

[NY...@aol.com]

 
I have developed a correct WSDL file, and have generated the appropriate  
classes with WSDL2Java. I did a small amount of tinkering with the classes, ran  
AdminClient and have my Web Service running on the local TomCat server. I have 
 added some handlers and written a messager service.
 
What now? How exactly do I utilize this web service and see if it works? Do  
I put the client side classes in one directory and providor sides in another? 
Do  I run a specifid program or have to make a new one? I'm even a bit lost on 
how  to utilize TCPMonitor (I know how to run it but how do I get messages 
moving  with SOAP?)
 
Thanks,

you are into axis-user space, not axis dev. Please follow up queries to 
our sibling mail list.

you need some kind of client to make calls of the system. This can be 
your own (get the WSDL file, generate the code), it can be JUnit tests 
(axis can do the stubs for you) , or some third party thing like

-Mindreef SoapScope
-XMLSpy
-Microsoft InfoPath

I am sure there are others.
