Do we have support for JSON? Can we generate a virtual service from the JSON-WSP? How about from request/response JSON pairs?
As it turns out my customers sent in XML requests and expected JSON responses. So I used the WSDL and generated the virtual service. Next I modified the responses to be JSON and now everybody is happy. See below details for the GetCampusInfo and GetCampuses operations that were virtualized:
GetCampusInfo
Request(XML):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<soapenv:Body>
<GetCampusInfo xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">
<CampusID>1</CampusID>
</GetCampusInfo>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
Response(JSON):

Thanks everyone! I am off to a good start with several possibilities.
