web services - How Swift consume SOAP WebService from Dynamics NAVISION

Question

in XCode (for iOS 8) using Swift language, there is no Service Reference folder to add for NAV Web Service

Understand iOS 8 (Swift) does not have Web service reference to create Proxy. So, in this respect, how Swift can consume SOAP webservice from Microsoft Dynamics NAVISION? What are the methods or work around available?

Thanks

Get a nightly build of free SoapUI. I say nightly only because some time ago it was only version that supported windows authorization, If your Nav web-service configured with another authorization type just use stable build.

SoapUI is able to consume provided web-service URL and make sample SOAP messages for you. You can even send those messages to your service to test if its work and inspect responses.

1. Get URL to your web-service's WSDL.
2. Create new project in SoapUI and paste URL into Initial WSDLWADL field and hit Ok.
3. WSDL will be processed and in project tree there will be listed all available functions (methods) of your service.
4. By expanding and clicking on them you can create, view and run requests against your service.
