Testing the Configuration

Testing the Server-Side Configuration

In order to test the server-side configuration we first need to start Tomcat, by executing startup.bat, located in the %TOMCAT_HOME%\bin directory. The command line to start Tomcat looks like this:

> startup

Next, open a web browser and point it to the following URL: https://localhost:8080/soap/servlet/rpcrouter. The following message should be displayed:

If the above message is not displayed then check your configuration to ensure that it is configured properly. This URL maps to the following servlet: org.apache.soap.server.http.RPCRouterServlet. This servlet is responsible for processing SOAP messages that contain RPC method calls and dispatching them for processing. We will refer to this URL as Apache SOAP runtime endpoint for the rest of this chapter.

Testing the Client-Side Configuration

To ensure that the client-slide configuration is setup properly we can run the following command:

> java org.apache.soap.server.ServiceManagerClient https://localhost:8080/soap/servlet/rpcrouter list

If it succeeds the output will only contain Deployed Services:. This command is used to list the services that are registered. In our case, no services will be registered since we just installed Apache SOAP. If you get any other output, then you need to check your configuration.
