You can test the following types of proxy services: any XML, any SOAP, Messaging, XML, and SOAP. You can test SOAP proxy services with Web Service Security (WSS) policies. See Web Service Security in Configuring Proxy Services Test Data.
Note: | When the test console invokes a proxy with HTTP custom token authentication, the authentication check is not done. |
WARNING: | Testing proxy services with the direct call option enabled bypasses some important security steps, including access control. BEA Systems recommends that you not use the test service in production systems. |
You can test proxy services from the Resource Browser or Project Explorer.
The test console opens the Proxy Service Testing page. For example, using the examples provided with the product (see
AquaLogic Service Bus Examples), click the icon associated with the LoanGateway1
proxy service.
Note: | In a clustered domain, you cannot use the test console to test any configured business service or proxy service which routes to a business service. |
By default, both test configuration options, Direct Call and Include Tracing, are enabled. You can clear the Direct Call option, which also clears the Include Tracing option. By doing so, testing is performed using the indirect call method where the message is sent through the transport layer.
You can use the Direct Call option (leave Direct Call selected) and disable tracing; simply clear the Include Tracing check box.
