Glen Daniels resolved AXIS-2650.
--------------------------------

    Resolution: Fixed

Hi Bjorn,

I pointed the tests at other versions of the same WSDLs, hosted at either WhiteMesa or from GSoap, and the build works again, so I'm marking this resolved.

In general interop tests like this should not really be required to build Axis, IMHO.  It's good info to have, but our actual tests should be able to run standalone using the Playback service - that can test our stuff against constant hand-rolled XML without worrying if a remote endpoint is up or not.  Then we can have a separate "interop" target which actually runs the tests against the real endpoints, but isn't required for the main build.  I should open an enhancement for that. :)

Thanks for the issue!

> Axis's test suite contains a number of tests that depend on services hosted on soapinterop.java.sun.com in order to run.  Unfortunately, that host seems to have been taken down by Sun -- the hostname still resolves but the host is not responsive. Since the Axis tests can't get the wsdl they need from the soapinterop website, they die with an exception.  
> In order for future versions of Axis 1.x tests, one of the following things needs to happen:
> 1) Sun reinstates the web services previously hosted on soapinterop.java.sun.com
> 2) The services are mirrored elsewhere for the Axis tests to hit
> 3) Replacement tests are created
> or, most undesirably, 
> 4) The tests that depend on these services are simply dropped from the Axis test suite.
> I have already contacted the SoapBuilders webmaster at Sun regarding option #1, but have not received a response.  I did find that on the Sun SoapBuilders website, links to soapinterop.java.sun.com still exist:
> http://java.sun.com/webservices/interop/soapbuilders/ (soapbuilders website)
> http://java.sun.com/webservices/interop/soapbuilders/r2/ (contains links to soapinterop wsdls)
> Ideally, we can find a way to make these tests usable again.
