Once you have deployed a Web service on the application server, you can test the behavior of this Web service by using the Web Services Navigator (WS Navigator). The WS Navigator allows you to test a Web service without having a client for it.
In the WS Navigator, you can:
● Test individual operations of individual service endpoints running on the local or remote provider systems
● Save the input data from the test of a service endpoint, and run the same test on the same endpoint multiple times.
● From a central location, test the same endpoint that runs on different provider systems
In the WS Navigator, you can test service endpoints which require basic HTTP authentication (User ID/Password) or no authentication.
You have a user which belongs to the Administrator group, or has an Administrator role, or has the UME WSNavigator administrator action.
1. To start the WS Navigator, in a Web browser, enter the following address and then provide your user name and password:
http://<host>:<port>/wsnavigator
Then enter your user name and password if required.
The WS Navigator opens.
2. You can proceed with any of the following tasks:
○ Find the Web service you want to test. More information: Finding Web Services.
○ Test an operation of a service endpoint. You can export the data with which you tested the service endpoint in a test scenario. More information: Testing a Web Service Operation.
○ Run a test scenario on a service endpoint. More information: Testing Web Services with Pre-Defined Input Data.
