Using the Development Business Services Server

You can do end-to-end testing of your outgoing web service calls on a development business services server. You deploy the business service that calls a web service to a WebSphere Express instance. You can then use the web development client to run the application that calls the business function, which in turn calls the business service. You can perform the entire test from your web development client. The development business services server uses the WebSphere Express instance that is being used to run HTML applications on the web development client.

Before you deploy the development business services server, you must prepare the configuration files. This topic also discusses how to start and stop the development business services server.
