9.2.6 Test the Web Service

A Web Service defined by a DADX file is self-describing. It dynamically generates a documentation and test page, WSDL documents, and XML Schema. The following HTTP GET URL requests the documentation and test page:

http://localhost:8080/Travel/TravelGroup/passengerList.dadx/TEST

The following HTTP GET URL requests the WSDL description of the service:

http://localhost:8080/Travel/TravelGroup/passengerList.dadx/WSDL

For HTTP SOAP, the services are invoked by sending SOAP envelopes using POST to the URL:

http://localhost:8080/Travel/TravelGroup/passengerList.dadx/SOAP

We are ready to test the Web Service:

1.Switch to server perspective and start the WebSphere test environment.

2.Switch to Web perspective, and open the browser.

3.Enter: http://localhost:8080/Travel/TravelGroup/passengerList.dadx/TEST as the URL.

4.Click retrieve_passengerList_rdb link, enter the flight number and click Invoke. See Figure 9-20.
