I never used groupwise soap objects, so I can't comment on specifics there.

Some debugging tools:

Fiddler2 and charles for getting down and dirty with the messages going over
the wire: http://www.fiddler2.com/fiddler2/ http://www.charlesproxy.com/

<http://www.charlesproxy.com/>SoapUI to experiment with calling the
service: http://www.soapui.org/

<http://www.soapui.org/>SoapUI is eclipse based, and inherits all the
eclipse project/workspace workflow. However, even if you are not a fan of
eclipse in general (I am not) this is the best soap tool I know of. If yu
are on windows, also look at storm http://www.codeplex.com/storm
