Smock simplifies your SOAP Web Service tests. You can use it if you need to

• Extend existing Spring WS 2.0 testing capabilities
• Write WS unit or integration tests
• Test Axis 2 client or server code
• Test CXF client or server code
• Test JAX-WS RI (Metro) client or server code

Although Smock builds on Spring WS 2.0 testing framework it can be used to test other SOAP stacks in similar way.

I would really like to hear your feedback. If you have anything to tell me, please contact me on smock-info@googlegroups.com (Google group)

Server test

If you want to test your WS server code, you can use following code

@Test
public void testCompare() throws Exception {
   client.sendRequest(withMessage("request1.xml")).andExpect(message("response1.xml"));
}
@Test
public void testValidateResponse() throws Exception {
  client.sendRequest(withMessage("request1.xml")).andExpect(noFault()).andExpect(validPayload(resource("xsd/calc.xsd")));
}

Client tests

To test your client code you can do the following

@Test
public void testSimple()
{
	mockServer.expect(anything()).andRespond(withMessage("response1.xml"));
	int result = calc.plus(1, 2);
	assertEquals(3, result);
}

@Test
public void testVerifyRequest()
{
	mockServer.expect(message("request1.xml")).andRespond(withMessage("response1.xml"));
		
	int result = calc.plus(1, 2);
	assertEquals(3, result);
}

You can start by reading CommonFeatures and then you can follow to specific setting for you SOAP stack.
