How to call Web Service using http?

Question

Hello everyone,
I have created a web service in weblogic 8.1sp4. The web service is deployed and in the test page in the administration console I see that the wsdl is sth like
http://localhost:6101/SomeWebService/SomeWebService/SomeWebService?WSDL
How is it possible to call the web service operation (let's say someOperation) using http? The problem is that the client which will call the operation is not a java or .net one and is needs to do the call using a URL. I have tried sth like
http://localhost:6101/SomeWebService/SomeWebService/SomeWebService?string=somestring&operation.invoke=someOperation which is the URL used in the test page in the administration console and although it works, instead of getting the SOAP response back I get the whole html page returned by the test page.
Please help me,
Thanks,
Yiannis

Hi Shreyas,
From your post, it seems that you are using SharePoint 2013 workflow platform in SPD.
If that is the case, we can use Call HTTP web service action to get the item data, but we cannot use Call HTTP web service to create a new item in the list in another web application with these data.
As my test, we would get Unauthorized error when using Call HTTP web service action to create a new item in a list in another web application.
So I recommend to achieve this goal programmatically.
