HTTP Analyzer help for web service client in 11g

WillyFeb 28 2012 — edited Feb 28 2012
I am using jDev 11.1.1.3.0 to build a web service client (proxy) to a potential vendor's web service. I've used the Http Analyzer before but I'm having trouble configuring it for a WS proxy. I just want to see the SOAP stream between my client and the web service. I used the Web Service Proxy wizard to create the Java code, but the web service provider has kept some of the contract in the WSDL private so that I had to manually generate the meat and potatoes of the Java code. I need to be able to see the SOAP my Java code is sending.

I have tried to configure the Http Analyzer to listen on it's own localhost and port with a forward rule to forward the request to the real WS, but I cannot figure out how to get the client to send it's requests to localhost instead of the actual WS.
Actually, I did figure it out, but then the request fails as it apparently tries to connect to the real WSDL before actually sending the request and cannot find a WSDL at the localhost URL. Here's the error:
Exception in thread "main" javax.xml.ws.WebServiceException: {http://localhost:8099}CatalogRequest is not a valid service. Valid services are: {http://[actual URL here]}CatalogRequest
at com.sun.xml.ws.client.WSServiceDelegate.<init>(WSServiceDelegate.java:249)
...

I have also tried to configure the Http Analyzer to somehow 'sniff' the actual URL by listening on the actual URL and port, but either I cannot get the Analyzer to see the request or it fails because the Analyzer is using the same port the request is trying to use.

Can someone explain how to configure the Http Analyzer to see the SOAP stream for a Web Client Proxy?
