How to invoke an OSB Proxy of type "Any XML Service"

Question

I built some proxy services as "Any XML Service" which route to some other business services.
I have tested these proxies using the debug console and they work fine. The question is, how do I invoke these services from outside de OSB? They recive an xml (duh) ...anyway, i have tried invoking them from a url passing the xml as the "body" parameter as follows:
http://host:port/myproject/anyXmlServices/aservice?body=<myxml>test</myxml>
not shure if this should work... how should I nvoke these services?
thanks in advance

Hi Jhosue,
before answer your queries can you please provide few info for the below mention queries.
1>While creating Proxy Service what protocol you have selected in "Transport Configuration" page?
2>If its HTTP, you need to specify some meaningful service name as "Endpoint URI".so that case the URL would like "http://host:port/serviceName"
3>if the protocol is not HTTP/HTTPS, then you cant invoke the proxy via URL from outside.
Note:
If your Proxy is HTTP based then to access the Proxy from outside,you need a Client Program(may be any GUI or standalone code).
There you need to specify what method you would like to follow GET/POST or others...i mean as per your service configuration.
If its GET..then u cant pass xml with the URL,instead of that you need to construct a URL string.
If its POST you can post bulk xml,that too using Client program.
Thanks
