You can send requests to services that use a Java™ Messaging Service (JMS) endpoint.
Before you begin
If the service uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) authentication,
create an SSL configuration before sending the request. For more information,
see Creating SSL configurations.
Procedure
To send a request to a JMS service:
- Click the Open the Generic Service Client toolbar button (
) and select
the Requests page.
- Click Add (
) and Add Endpoint Request or click Add an endpoint request from the main page.
- In the Configure Protocol window,
select JMS and specify the JMS transport configuration. If necessary, click New to create an JMS transport configuration
for the call.
- Click Add to specify any properties
that are to be sent with the call.
- Click Next.
- On the Select Root Element page, if
the service uses a specific XML Schema Definition (XSD), select one
from the list or click Browse to import the
XSD file, and then, select the root element for the call. If no XSD is available for the service, select No Schema.
- Click Finish. The
request is added to the Endpoints section of
the Request Library.
- In the Request Library, select the
request element. The generic service client shows
3 steps: Edit Data, Invoke, and View Response. The details for the request
are displayed under the Edit Data step.
- On the Message page, use the Form, Tree, or Source views to edit the contents of the request. Each view
shows a different format of the same data. If you want to add or remove
XML elements in the Form or Tree view, you can click to comply
with an XSD specified in the schema catalog.
- On the Attachments page, specify any
file attachments to send with the request. You must have
configured the environment with the correct libraries and configuration
files to handle file attachments.
- On the Transport page, if necessary,
change the transport configuration for the request. You
can create and edit transport and security configurations by clicking
the Transport tab.
- On the Request Stack page, specify
whether you want to override the security or processing algorithms
that are applied to the outgoing request for the WSDL. Click Show Response Stack to add a Response Stack page to edit the security or processing
algorithms for incoming responses.
Note: These settings apply only
to the current request. If you want to edit the request or response
stack for all requests that use the current WSDL file, click Edit WSDL Security to open the WSDL Security
Editor.
- When you are ready, click Invoke to send the service request. The generic service
client sends the request and displays the message return under the View Response step.
What to do next
Successful requests are recorded and added to the
Request History list. If you are using
IBM Rational® Performance Tester or
IBM Rational Service Tester for SOA Quality, you can click the
Generate Test Suite button (

) to create
a service test.
