Test Individual Web Services from the Schema Explorer

Display Workday Web Service WSDLs or XSDs in the
Schema Explorer
.
You can test individual web services by using the Workday Studio Web Service Tester to create sample SOAP or XML request messages from the
Schema Explorer
.
  1. To generate a sample request message for a specific web service, right-click a WSDL or XSD element on the
    Schema Explorer
    view. Select either
    Open request in Web Service Tester
    or
    Open SOAP wrapped request in Web Service Tester
    .
  2. Studio opens the
    WS Tester
    view. The
    Target
    section displays the
    Location
    of the Web service endpoint.
  3. From the
    Content-Type
    drop-down list, select the message's media type and subtype:
    Option Description
    text/plain; charset=utf-8
    Specifies plain text, containing no formatting commands or directives.
    text/xml; charset=utf-8
    Specifies XML text.
    application/octet-stream
    Specifies an unrecognized type. Example: select this option if you're attaching a binary file to the message.
  4. Modify the XML in the
    Request
    pane as required. To add an attachment, click
    Add Attachment
    , then click
    Edit
    to specify the file location and attachment's
    Name
    and
    Mime type
    .
  5. Click
    Send Request
    to send the request message to the Web service at the URL specified in the
    Location
    field. Studio displays the response in the
    Response
    pane.
