But in that case they really aren't testing much. My general feeling is that testing the interface's existence is about as good as it's likely to get. I do intend however to re-write this article for different transports. For example, I want to create a HTTP version that uses Options on the interface URL and returns a header that means "btw I ran a test and I still seem to be alive."

I mean you can test the listener, the container and maybe the stack, but not the interface itself. With traditional WSDL-described services you can not test the operation, only the Porttype. However it is a good idea to design for teasability and monitoring. Gruss Bernd There is a problem: you cant test one service with a different interface.
