Benjy,
Started to use MockingBird today and its great – well done on putting together such an excellent tool!

I’ve noticed one bug and would be happy to submit the fix if you are accepting changes?

Cheers, Nick.

@Walter : Thanks. I used to use SoapUI a lot (the free version, what else !!). Couldnt get the Mocks feature there to work, but it was a nice tool. I would like to get MockingBird ‘Studio’ to have similar features and also to generate BizUnit tests, .NET test fixtures and so on and considering a WPF UI. I think that would really rock.

@Daniel: G’day mate!!MockWeb does indeed live on. We gotta get back in touch. Hope you find it useful. Should have more functionality in shortly.

That’s brilliant Benjy, it’s great to see that the spirit of Mock Web lives on to help other developers! I look forward to using Mockingbird sometime in the future when required.

I like the name “Mockingbird” too. Not “To Kill a Mockingbird”, but I use SoapUI to create mock web services from WSDL. It works pretty well. The tool has quite a few capabilities and there is a free version. The only thing is that it is written in Java, so the UI is kind of flaky.
