Figure E.5 – The generated XML instance document
8. Save the file. It is stored in the XML -> XML documents folder after refreshing your
data development project. When executing the SOAP binding for the
RankEmployee operation with the Web Services Explorer, you can see that the
generated SOAP request message content looks very similar, since both match
the same XML schema.
Repeat these steps for all operations you want to test using cURL.
E.1.2 SOAP over HTTP Binding
The first service binding we look at is SOAP over HTTP. We described how to test this
binding in Chapter 10 using the Web Services Explorer. In this section, we show you how
to re-create what the Web Services Explorer did for you before.
Start by assembling the SOAP request message by creating a new XML file called
RankEmployeeSOAP.xml. Into that file, copy and paste the SOAP request message
from the Source view of the Web Services Explorer (as shown in Listing E.1.)

Listing E.1 - The SOAP request message
Start the SOAP binding using the cURL command. To do this, you need to know the SOAP
over HTTP endpoint URL. Data web services has the following rules to get to the SOAP
endpoint URL:
http(s)://://services/
For the SimpleService example, the endpoint URL is:
http://server:8080/WebServicesSimpleService/services/SimpleServi
