web services - Generating Request/Response XML from a WSDL

Question

Is there a way to generate Request & Response XML formats from just a WSDL file - if the webservice is not live right now.

SoapUI doesn't give me the response unless it contacts the Webservice with a request. Is there any other tool which can do this?

I should assume this information is available - because without it - client stub frameworks like Axis/JAXWS etc won't be able to generate stubs for generating the requesting and then interpreting the response.

Try this online tool: https://www.wsdl-analyzer.com. It appears to be free and does a lot more than just generate XML for requests and response.

There is also this: https://www.oxygenxml.com/xml_editor/wsdl_soap_analyzer.html, which can be downloaded, but not free.
