<div class="jive-rendered-content"><p>Now that the WS Tester is getting more stable and feature complete, I wanted to try it against a RESTeasy web service (JAX-RS) deployed against one of our own runtimes. I simply used the steps we'd defined earlier for using the RESTeasy project example on <a class="" href="http://community.jboss.org/wiki/UsingtheRESTEasySimpleProjectExampleinJBDS3">this wiki page</a>.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>To do this yourself, follow these steps:</p><ol><li><p>Grab a recent build of JBoss Tools 3.2 (go [<a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/builds/nightly/" target="_blank">http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/builds/nightly/</a> and use the latest trunk build). Install it into an Eclipse 3.6 (Helios) instance.</p></li><li><p>Make sure you have an EAP 5 or SOA-P 5 runtime ready with RESTeasy installed.</p></li><li><p>Fire up your Eclipse workbench and follow the steps <a class="" href="http://community.jboss.org/wiki/UsingtheRESTEasySimpleProjectExampleinJBDS3">here</a> to get your RESTful web service project into your workbench (steps 1 through 10).</p></li><li><p>Get a bit familiar with the WS Tester by checking out <a class="jive-link-blog-small" href="http://community.jboss.org/community/jbosstools/blog/2010/05/26/testing-web-services">this post</a> and <a class="jive-link-blog-small" href="http://community.jboss.org/community/jbosstools/blog/2010/06/04/testing-web-services-from-wsdls">this post</a>.</p></li><li><p>Open the WS Tester view by selecting Window->Show View->Other... Drill down until you find "JBoss Tools Web Services" and select the Web Service Tester.</p></li><li><p>To post a new customer to the service database:</p><ul><li><p>Select JAX-RS as your Web Service Type.</p></li><li><p>Switch the HTTP Method to "POST".</p></li><li><p><span>Type in your Service URL: </span><a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://localhost:8080/simple/rest-services/customers" target="_blank">http://localhost:8080/simple/rest-services/customers</a><span>.</span></p></li><li><p>Put in your sample XML in the Request Body tab:</p><pre><code><customer><br clear="none"/><first-name>Bill</first-name><br clear="none"/><last-name>Burke</last-name><br clear="none"/><street>256 Red Hat Lane</street><br clear="none"/><city>Boston</city><br clear="none"/><state>MA</state><zip>02115</zip><br clear="none"/><country>USA</country><br clear="none"/></customer></code></pre></li><li><p>On the Request Header tab, add "content-type=application/xml" as the lone header.</p></li><li><p>Click the Invoke button.</p></li><li><p><span>You won't see anything in the Response Body tab to the right, but if you go to the Response Header, you should see "[HTTP/1.1 201 Created]" as the top line in the list. You should also see the Location (</span><a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://localhost:8080/simple/rest-services/customers/#" target="_blank">http://localhost:8080/simple/rest-services/customers/#</a><span> where # is the record number for the entry).</span></p></li></ul></li><li><p>To retrieve a record from the service:       </p><ul><li><p>Change the HTTP Method to "GET".</p></li><li><p><span>Change the Service URL to the Location value you saw in step 6 (</span><a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://localhost:8080/simple/rest-services/customers/1" target="_blank">http://localhost:8080/simple/rest-services/customers/1</a><span>)</span></p></li><li><p>Click the Invoke button.<br/><a href="http://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/38-1841-3575/rest_get_1.jpg"><span> http://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/38-1841-3575/450-243/rest_get_1.jpg </span></a></p></li><li><p>This time you should see the XML record in the Response Body tab and [HTTP/1.1 200 OK] as the first Response Header.<br/><a href="http://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/38-1841-3576/rest_get_1_headers.jpg"><span> http://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/38-1841-3576/432-450/rest_get_1_headers.jpg </span></a></p></li></ul></li><li><p>To update a record from the service:</p><ul><li><p>Change the HTTP Method to "PUT".</p></li><li><p>Leave the URL the same (for the record you want to update).</p></li><li><p>Provide the updated XML for the record:</p><pre><code><customer><br clear="none"/><first-name>Gary</first-name><br clear="none"/><last-name>Lamperillo</last-name><br clear="none"/><street>123 Red Hat Court</street><br clear="none"/><city>Venice</city><br clear="none"/><state>CA</state><br clear="none"/><zip>90291</zip><br clear="none"/><country>USA</country><br clear="none"/></customer></code></pre></li><li><p>Click the Invoke button.</p></li><li><p>Like when you POSTed before, you won't see anything in the Response Body, but you should see [HTTP/1.1 204 No Content] as the first item in the Response Header list.</p></li><li><p>To verify that the data went through correctly, we can do another GET - simply switch the HTTP Method to "GET" and click Invoke again.<br/><a href="http://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/38-1841-3577/rest_get_2.jpg"><span> http://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/38-1841-3577/450-244/rest_get_2.jpg </span></a></p></li><li><p>Now we should see the updated data appear in the Response Body and [HTTP/1.1 200 OK] as the first item in the Response Header list.</p></li></ul></li></ol><p>And that's it! Pretty easy. Didn't even have to leave Eclipse to test!</p></div>
