Test large number of webservices on a single computer

We have a large system of physical devices which all run a web service for control and a central control system for controlling these devices. I need to make a substitute for such a physical device in order to test the controlling unit. How will I go about running more than one instance of a test device on a single computer. The protocol used in SOAP with a wsdl written in stone. In addition to the webservice each test device needs a webserver to monitor state and generating events.

My first approach is to embed jetty and use axis2 for webservices, but I am having some trouble making that fly. I m开发者_如何学Pythonanaged to get the axis2 SimpleHttpServer working with a webservice, but as far as I can tell SimpleHttpServer will not let me run Servlets or let alone wars. Is there a better approach I am missing?

I considered making a proxy server listening on any number of ports and forwarding the request to a webservice to a central webservice with an additional paramater saying which port the request originated from, but since the wsdl is writting in stone I can not pass this paramater along.

EDIT: I am using Netbeans to generate a webservice for me. Works as a charm but not enough for my project. For some reason wsimport chokes on the wsdl. I don't understand how Netbeans can deploy to the bundled Glassfish server, but if I drop the generated dist/my-project.war into tomcat the webservice doesn't work. Much less show up in web.xml. What am I missing?

Be aware that if you route your network requests through a SOCKS proxy, you can essentially redirect even hardcoded names and ports in the SOCKS proxy to whatever you need.

Axis2 is not meant to be used as a servlet container, so using SimpleHttpServer doesn't help you there.

But Jetty is a full featured Servlet container. If you want to make it work, you have to run your Wars with Jetty. (Or any other servlet container, but Jetty is perfectly fine)

I'm not Jetty expert, but this should work:

Server server = new Server(8080);
Context root = new Context(server, "/", Context.SESSIONS);
root.addServlet(new ServletHolder( yourServletInstance ), "/*");
server.start();

Ok I've figured out a solution. I can use Glassfish. Then I deploy the same webapp multiple times under different names. Then I have a small proxy made in glassfish which listens on a number of ports and then translates the request to one of the instances running i glassfish.
