If given a REST or SOAP webservices URL, how can we find the method it offers.

For ex: http://ipAddress:port/projectName/services

Just tack ?wsdl onto the end of the URL. If it returns the XML based WSDL document, then it is a SOAP based service.

  • Thanks dmarietta .. How abt the REST ? – user3131119 Feb 06 '14 at 00:52
  • Since REST can really be implemented in a wide variety of ways, there is not any one definitive way to say "yes that response is REST". For example, maybe it returns XML data; maybe JSON formatted data; or maybe it just returns an HTTP error code if there are unexpected or missing parameters. – dmarietta Feb 06 '14 at 01:08
  • REST services are not self-describing. – John Saunders Feb 06 '14 at 01:21
