Test web services-enabled clients

Once we have developed, assembled, deployed and configured your web service, you can test to confirm your web service runs in the application server environment. Before testing your web services Java client to confirm your web service runs in the WAS environment, verify that the server endpoint specified in the client WSDL file is running and available. Tests are run differently depending on whether the client module is in a Java EE container or if the client is running in the Thin Client for Java API for XML-based RPC (JAX-RPC) with WAS application environment or the Thin Client for JAX-WS with WAS application environment.

Procedure

1. Test an unmanaged client JAR file by running the application with the java command.

   (Windows) For JAX-WS applications:

   "%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java"
   -Djava.endorsed.dirs=
   <your_jax-ws_thin_client_install_directory>/endorsed_apis_8.0.0.jar
   -classpath
   "
   <your_JAX-WS_thin_client_install_directory>\runtimes\com.ibm.jaxws.thinclient_8.0.0.jar;
   
   <list_of_your_application_jars_and_classes>"
   
   <fully_qualified_class_name_to_run>
   <your_application_parameters> 

   (Windows) For JAX-RPC applications:

   "%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java"
   -classpath
   "
   <your_JAX-RPC_thin_client_install_directory>\runtimes\com.ibm.ws.webservices.thinclient_8.0.0.jar;
   
   <list_of_your_application_jars_and_classes>"
   
   <fully_qualified_class_name_to_run>
   <your_application_parameters> 

   (AIX) (Solaris) For JAX-WS applications:

   "$JAVA_HOME/bin/java"
   -Djava.endorsed.dirs=
   <your_jax-ws_thin_client_install_directory>/endorsed_apis_8.0.0.jar
   -classpath
   "
   <your_JAX-WS_thin_client_install_directory>/runtimes/com.ibm.jaxws.thinclient_8.0.0.jar:
   
   <list_of_your_application_jars_and_classes>"
   
   <fully_qualified_class_name_to_run>
   <your_application_parameters>
   

   For JAX-RPC applications:

   "$JAVA_HOME/bin/java"
   -classpath
   "
   <your_JAX-RPC_thin_client_install_directory>/runtimes/com.ibm.ws.webservices.thinclient_8.0.0.jar:
   
   <list_of_your_application_jars_and_classes>"
   
   <fully_qualified_class_name_to_run>
   <your_application_parameters>
   

   The unmanaged client application runs.
2. Test a managed JAX-RPC client EAR file or an unmanaged JAX-WS client EAR file.
   1. Run your client application with the launchClient command. The following example illustrates the use of this command:

      launchClient clientEar
