HTTP GET

[r.eloc]

Hi,

I'm using JBoss to host JAX-WS services but when I try to visit the service URL (not the WSDL) in the browser then I get an error message saying "HTTP GET not supported", why is this?

Also, what is the best way to test JAX-WS services? In .NET you get a test form if you visit the service URL in a browser and this allows you to submit values and see the XML response, is there anything like this for JAX-WS?

Thanks,
Russell!

We only support GET for WSDL and XML schema retrievals.

It depends on the kind of tests you need / how is going to run the tests (a developer or not).

Nothing specifically defined by JAX-WS of course, but you could take a look here: http://jbws.dyndns.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=Staging_tests

Thanks for the quick reply.

I'm thinking from a developer perspective. It's handy to use the web browser whilst developing just as a quick check to make sure the service has been deployed ok and is returning some kind of data and not an error message.
