This combined with Sanjiva's suggestion of caching the latest WSDL's 
locally I think are good options.  Making the network option default would 
gell well with Rob J. comments that the tests *should* be done over the 
network but this would at least give us the option to switch to an offline 
mode.

I'd +1 YAO, with caveats.  The 'official' build doesn't have any problems
with network connections, does it?  Only individuals?  I'd say the default
should be to go to the network, and there should be a switch to turn off
the network tests.

If we have a set of tests that aren't run by default, then they are likely
to become forgotten tests.

+1   .... or, Yet another option (YAO) would be to have a build switch for
using local or using network.

If testing this stuff is going to be part of the Axis unit or functional
tests, it should be local, or at least fail gracefully in the face of no
network connection.

My preference would be to have local WSDL which tests all the features,
and
include the networked interop tests as samples which aren't integrated
with
our test platform.
