Testing Web services with sample JSPs

After you have created a Web service you can generate sample JSPs which can be run on the server to test the Web service.
To generate a sample JSP to test a Web service:
  1. Select your Java bean in the Project Explorer, right-click and select Web services > Generate sample JSPs.
  2. On the Web Service Client Test page you have the following options:
    • Test the generated proxy: If selected, the sample client will be launched in a Web browser enabling you to test the functionality.
    • Select your test facility. Select whether you want to generate JAX-RPC sample JSPs.
    • Folder: You can select the preexisting folder where the JSP will be located.
    • Methods: Select the methods to expose. If you selected to enable asynchronous invocation, the asynchronous methods should be listed as well.
    • Run test on server: this will start the server for you automatically.
  3. The proxy is launched in a Web browser at the following URL: http://localhost:port/WebProjectClient/sampleBeanName/WebServiceName/TestClient.jsp You can use this sample application to test the Web service by selecting a method, entering a value for the method, and clicking Invoke. The result of the method will display in the results pane.
