Testing the Web services gateway installation

Use this task to test that the Web services gateway is installed correctly.

Before you begin

This topic assumes that you have completed the steps described in Completing the installation.

Why and when to perform this task

To test the basic installation of the Web services gateway, complete the following steps:

Steps for this task

  1. In a Web browser, go to http://host:port/wsgw where host and port are the host name and port number on which your HTTP server is listening.
    The browser displays the following message:

    IBM Web services gateway

    What do you want to do?

    • Run the admin client
    • View the product ID

  2. Test the Apache SOAP channels by using your Web browser to display the Web page at http://host:port/wsgwengine/soaprpcrouter, where engine is either soap1 or soap2.
    The browser displays the following message: Sorry, I don't speak via HTTP GET - you have to use HTTP POST to talk to me.
  3. [Version 5.0.2 and later]Test the SOAP over HTTP channels by using your Web browser to display the Web page at http://host:port/wsgwengine/soaphttpengine, where engine is either soaphttp1 or soaphttp2.
    The browser displays the message: And now... Some Services. If you have not yet deployed any Web services to the channel (for example because you have just installed the channel) then the rest of the screen is blank. If there are any services deployed to the channel, then the deployed services are listed.

    Note: Each entry in the list of deployed services includes a link to the WSDL file. However, when you click the WSDL link you are told "page cannot be found". To view the WSDL file that should be displayed through this link, complete the following steps:

    1. List the details for your deployed service.
    2. Find the Exported WSDL definitions section.
    3. Click the External WSDL implementation definition (WSDL only) link.

What to do next

If you do not see these messages, your server is not configured correctly - in which case, see Trolubleshooting the Web services gateway.
