Currently I don't know of any and would be interested myself in finding out
what is out there. The problem with current load tools is the following:
a) They send static messages. This doesn't fly too well with WSE as it
has a timestamp associated with each message.
b) You cannot send messages that have security in them over and over
because again, these will expire. Any attempt to
modify such a message will only yeild in failure if the message is
signed/encrypted.

Thanks,

Sidd [MSFT]

Sidd,
You'd just need to configure replay detection to 'off' and not have
the timestamps sent in the first place. Soaptest allows you to do this
and we use it quite a lot for testing

Hi Dilip,

I'd love to hear more details. Does soap test send static messages? In
this case I am assuming that you have a statically signed message (that does
not contain Timestamp headers) In this case you would send the same message
over and over without really changing the signature or anything about the
message. Is this correct?

Thanks,

Sidd
