Testing the Service without a Client

The Application Server Admin Console allows you to test the methods of a web service endpoint. To test the sayHello method of HelloService, do the following:

1. Open the Admin Console by typing the following URL in a web browser:

   http://localhost:4848/

2. Enter the admin user name and password to log in to the Admin Console.

3. Click Web Services in the left pane of the Admin Console.

4. Click Hello.

5. Click Test.

6. Under Methods, enter a name as the parameter to the sayHello method.

7. Click the sayHello button.

   This will take you to the sayHello Method invocation page.

8. Under Method returned, you’ll see the response from the endpoint.
