Testing a JAX-RPC Web Service on the Client Side

See Also 

You can test a JAX-RPC web service from the IDE, using a built-in JAX-RPC client.

Do this right before you implement the web service's operations in a web service client to make sure that the web service is working as expected and providing the functionality that you want the client to consume.

To test a web service on the client side:

  1. Create the web service client.
  2. Expand the Web Service References node in the Projects window, then expand the web service instance node and the webservicenameSoap node. Right-click the web service's operation node and choose Test Operation.
  3. The Test Web Service Operation dialog box appears. You can test the operation and view information such as the operation's input and return data types.

  4. Type values for the parameters, click the Submit button, and view the results.

Troubleshooting

Check your proxy settings, if error messages such as the following are returned:

org.netbeans.modules.websvc.registry.ui.ReflectionHelper.callMethodWithParams(ReflectionHelper.java:449)
