WebLogic Workshop provides a browser-based interface, Test View, through which you can test the functionality of web services. Test View acts as a client which you can use to invoke the service's methods and view the service's responses. For more complex web services, you can follow the path of processing through multiple requests and responses, or even multiple services.
The tutorial included with this documentation provides an introduction to Test View, as well as other aspects of WebLogic Workshop. For more information, see Tutorial: Your First Web Service.
To Test a Web Service with Test View
WebLogic Workshop builds the project containing the web service, checking for errors along the way. If the build is successful, it launches a web browser to display Test View.
The Message Log at the left of the page displays an entry for each call to a method or callback so that you can view the data for each. Select any log entry to see the details of that interaction.
If your web service is conversational, the conversation ID will be displayed in the Message Log for each conversation. Select a particular conversation ID to access continue and finish method log entries for that conversation.
Note: The Test Form and Test XML tabs provide alternative ways to specify the content of the call to your service's methods. The Overview and Console tabs include additional information about the service.
