7 Testing RESTful Web Services

This chapter describes how to test Java EE web services in WebLogic Server 12.1.3 that conform to the Representational State Transfer (REST) architectural style using Java API for RESTful Web Services (JAX-RS).

After you have deployed a Web application that contains a RESTful web service to WebLogic Server, you can test your application.
