Introduction:

This test specification should test Web service client creation in J2SE and J2EE project. The specification covers developing of simple web service client in NetBeans 5.5.

Comment:

This test specification is based on End - to - end scenarios, written by Lukas Jungmann.

1. Web Service Client in J2SE project
2. Web Service Client in J2EE module

Test suite 1: Web Service Client in J2SE project

Purpose: Functionality of J2SE WS Client.
Setup: First make sure Sun Application App Server is installed and add it in Runtime tab.
Create new Web Service of name MyWS.Invoke wizard File|New Project|Web|Web Application or File|New Project|Enterprise|EJB Module and then
File|Web Services|Web Service.Add operation to new web service - open Web Services node and right-click on service to invoke Context menu, select "Add Operation"
action and click "OK" in next dialog.In editor change return value of the operation to return "Hello".Deploy project.
Create new Java Application - go to File|New Project|General|Java Application.
Specify Hello as Project Name.
Specify project's directory.
Specify org.netbeans.hello.Main as project main class.
Click Finish.

Test case

Description

Create web service client

1. Go to File|New File|Web services|Web Service Client|Next.
2. Specify WSDL - there are now three ways to do it. First copy URL from clipboard as Running Web Service WSDL URL,then you could specify project,where is web
service located.Third way is to specify wsdl file on hard disc.Try all three ways to test ws client.
3. Optional: if you're behind proxy check its settings via Proxy settings... button.
4. Specify package for the client, eg. org.netbeans.hello.client.
5. Select IDE-generated static stub as client type.
6. Click Retrieve WSDL.
7. Click Finish.

Refresh WSDL

1. Go to Projects tab|Hello|Web Service References|MyWS.
2. Right-click on web service and then select "Refresh WSDL"

RESULT: WSDL of web service in client will be updated .

Delete web service client

1. Projects tab|Hello|Web Service References|MyWS node.
2. Right-click on web service and then select "Delete" and twice "Yes" in next windows.

RESULT: Web service (and Web Service references node,if the service was last one) should disappear from Projects tab .

Teardown:

Test suite 2: Web Service Client in J2EE module

Purpose: Functionality of J2EE WS Client.
Setup: First make sure Sun Application App Server is installed and add it in Runtime tab.
Create new Web Service of name MyWS.Invoke wizard File|New Project|Web|Web Application or File|New Project|Enterprise|EJB Module and then
File|Web Services|Web Service.Add operation to new web service - open Web Services node and right-click on service to invoke Context menu, select "Add Operation"
action and click "OK" in next dialog.In editor change return value of the operation to return "Hello".Deploy project.
Create new Web module - go to File|New Project|Web|Web Application, new EJB module - go to File|New Project|Enterprise|EJB Module and
new application client - go to File|New Project|Enterprise|Application Client. Select Sun App server as target server.
J2EE version should be set to J2EE1.4 . Click Finish.
Web service client could be created only in there three modules, so test next test cases for each of them.
