## soapUI NetBeans-Plugin

The soapUI NetBeans-Plugin provides all soapui-functionality directly from within NetBeans 5.5/6.0 allowing one integrated development and testing environment for Web Services in java. Existing soapUI desktop components are made available through two docked tabs:

- A "soapUI Navigator" tab in the explorer contains the Workspace Navigator and Details Tab
- A "soapUI Log" tab at the bottom contains the same Log Tabs as in soapUI

All soapUI Desktop Panels are made available as editor tabs and will be opened/closed as usual. Here are some screenshots:

(Request/Response Editors)
(Tools / soapUI Menu with LoadTest Runner in background)
(Axis2 Wizard with WS-I Basic Profile Report in background)

Version 1.7.1 of the plugin introduces project integration and popup menu actions for NetBeans projects and WSDL files, allowing creation and quick access of a NetBeans-project specific soapUI project, read more about this in Project Integration.

### Getting Started

Download the NBM from sourceforge or via the NetBeans Plugin manager. If you downloaded it from sourceforge, install as described in the Installation document. See the demonstration movies below for some hands-on tutorials, otherwise the existing Getting Started applies also to the NetBeans Plugin, as does the User Guide. The only real difference is that the standalone soapUI Desktop has been replaced by the NetBeans tabbed interface for editors.

### Demonstration Movies

As of NetBeans 6.0 M9 / OpenESB 2.0, the soapUI NetBeans plugin is bundled with the OpenESB add-ons, downloadable from https://open-esb.dev.java.net/Downloads_OpenESB_Addons_NB6.html. The following demonstration movies are available that show how to get started with common soapUI tasks in NetBeans:

- Movie 1 shows how to create a simple WSDL, implement and deploy that WSDL with a BPEL process, and finally test the deployed process with the soapUI module.
- Movie 2 shows how to create a simple WSDL, create a Mock Implementation of that WSDL with the soapUI module, create a java application client that calls the Mock Implementation, and then finally how to implement the WSDL with a BPEL process.
- Movie 3 shows how to create a simple JAX-WS Web Service and deploy/test it with the soapUI module.
