Testing Web services-enabled clients

Once you have developed, assembled, deployed and configured your Web service, you can test to confirm your Web service runs in the WebSphere Application Server environment.

Before you begin

Before testing your Web services Java client to confirm your Web service runs in the WebSphere Application Server environment, verify that the server endpoint specified in the client Web Services Description Language (WSDL) file is running and available.

About this task

Tests are run differently depending on whether the client module has client container deployment information, which consists of the application-client.xml file, as well as the Java API for XML-based remote procedure call (JAX-RPC) mapping file and WSDL file. The client enterprise archive (EAR) files discussed in this topic are referred to as managed because they contain the deployment information. The client Java archive (JAR) files discussed are referred to as unmanaged because they that do not contain the deployment information.

Test Web services-enabled clients by following the listed actions.

Procedure

Results

You have a Web services-enabled client that is tested. Now you can add security measures to the Web service.

What to do next

Security measures are optional. For more information about security see Securing Web services for 5.x applications and Securing Web services for 6.x applications.

Troubleshoot your Web services application if you are having problems.
