6 Testing RESTful Web Services

After you have deployed a Web application that contains a RESTful web service to WebLogic Server, you can test your application. This chapter describes how to test Java EE web services that conform to the Representational State Transfer (REST) architectural style using Java API for RESTful Web Services (JAX-RS).

Table 6-1 lists the methods that can be employed to test your RESTful web service.
