Testing the Service from the Terminal
Using the Terminal we can generate a client for the Web Service based on its WSDL. Open the Terminal in any namespace and set a variable to the value of the url of the WSDL for the Web Service. Note that the port number for the for the url and the name of the namespace you use might differ from what is shown here:
USER>Set url="http://localhost:57772/csp/tutorials/SOAPTutorial.SOAPService.cls?WSDL=1"
Create an instance of %SOAP.WSDL.ReaderOpens in a new tab and use its Process method to generate a client for the service.
USER>Set reader=##class(%SOAP.WSDL.Reader).%New()
USER>Write reader.Process(url)

Next, create an instance of the generated client and invoke its Test method. It should return “Test”.
USER>Set client=##class(SOAPService.SOAPServiceSoap).%New()
USER>Write client.Test()
Test
Finally, use the client to test the GetContact method, passing it “1”. This will return a Contact instance. You can access its Name and PhoneNumbers properties.
USER>Set contact=client.GetContact(1)
USER>Write contact.Name
Campos,Debby A.
USER>Write contact.PhoneNumbers.GetAt(1).Number
886-391-4821
In order for the GetContact method to return a contact, the sample application must be populated. See Compiling and Populating the Sample Application for instructions.
