This section provides a tutorial example on loading a WADL document for a REST Web service into soapUI to validate and inspect the WADL document.
In the previous chapter, we learned that soapUI can be used to load a WSDL document for a SOAP Web service.
Now let's try to load a WADL document for a REST Web service into soapUI to validate the WADL document and review detailed information of the Web service.
1. Run soapUI and click "File" > "New soapUI Project"
3. Click OK. soapUI will validate and import the specified WADL document.
4. When importing is done, "HelloProject" is created and displayed
on the left of the windows. There should be no importing error,
because Hello_REST.wadl is valid WADL document.
5. Click to open all sub objects under the project "HelloProject",
you should see the "Hello_REST" service, the "Hello_REST.php" resource, the "GET" method,
and a sample request "Request 1" as shown in this picture:
Very nice. My Hello_REST.wasl has been validated and imported correctly.
soapUI allows you to inspect interface properties and method properties.
