</ul></div></p><h1 id="Quick_Overview">Quick Overview</h1><p>The GUI is basically a fully dynamic, single page webapp for quickly invoking webservice endpoints without the need of generating and compiling client stubs or directly writing SOAP xml messages.</p><p>You start by typing the URL of the wsdl contract you want to consume (you can provide username and password if required, http basic auth only supported atm):</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p><a href="https://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/102-48348-4-20285/wise-gui-img1.png"><span> https://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/102-48348-4-20285/wise-gui-img1.png </span></a></p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>then you click on "OK" button and let Wise fetch the wsdl, parse it together with any referenced schema and finally present you a list of available endpoint operations:</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p><a href="https://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/102-48348-4-20286/wise-gui-img2.png"><span> https://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/102-48348-4-20286/wise-gui-img2.png </span></a></p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>you select an operation and Wise shows a tree representing the input parameters for that:</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p><a href="https://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/102-48348-4-20287/wise-gui-img3.png"><span> https://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/102-48348-4-20287/wise-gui-img3.png </span></a></p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>you can fill in input boxes with data, enable/disable elements (for nillable ones only) and add/remove elements for collection and list parameters. Finally, you click on "Perform invocation" button and get another tree for the result object:</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p><a href="https://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/102-48348-4-20288/wise-gui-img4.png"><span> https://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/102-48348-4-20288/wise-gui-img4.png </span></a></p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>That's all, very simple, yet really effective and quick solution for testing ws endpoints. No need for either writing a single line of code or playing with XML. No external tool needed (besides for your browser). And possibly even more interesting, no special technical knowledge required, so e.g a business analyst might validate WS service results without bugging the developer who worked on it ;-) (keep in mind that in most scenarios, exposing a simple test WS endpoint is basically a matter of adding a single @WebService annotation on a POJO or EJB3 class...)</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><h1 id="Building_and_installing">Building and installing</h1><p>You need to download the sources from the <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://www.jboss.org/wise/downloads">download page</a>. Then make sure the JBoss.org Maven repository is <a class="jive-link-wiki-small" href="https://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-15169">properly setup</a>.</p><p>Then unpack the downloaded archive, start JBoss AS 7 (7.1.0 or greater) and simply run:</p><pre class="jive-pre"><code class="jive-code">mvn clean package jboss-as:deploy
</code></pre><p>Finally start your favorite browse and hit <em><a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://localhost:8080/wise-gui" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://localhost:8080/wise-gui</a></em> address (assuming JBoss AS is bound to localhost:8080)</p><p>The application is undeployed by running:</p><pre class="jive-pre"><code class="jive-code">mvn jboss-as:undeploy
</code></pre></div>
