Novell exteNd Web Services SDK Server

The Novell exteNd Web Services SDK Server is a very light-weight Web Service container, that can be used to test Web Services without a full-blown servlet container such as Tomcat or the Novell exteNd Application Server. The Novell exteNd WSSDK Server is capable of dispatching incoming SOAP requests to a set of deployed Web Services.

In addition to the basic dispatch functionality, the Novell exteNd WSSDK Server is running a built-in deploy Web Service, which can be used to deploy, undeploy and list the Web Services running inside the container. The Novell exteNd WSSDK Server allows you to deploy a standard WAR file to some location below the server's root URL.

The Novell exteNd Web Services SDK Server also support standard browser clients, and deployment can be performed by pointing the browser to the root URL of the server. A browser can also point to the pages of individually deployed Web Services to get detailed information, including the WSDL for the Web Service.

The Novell exteNd Web Services SDK Server is usually started using the following command:

jwebserv [-port port] war-file(s)

Please refer to the jwebserv man page for a detailed description of the command line parameters.

Once the Novell exteNd Web Services SDK Server is running, you can point your browser to the host and port of the server to get more information about how to use the server. As an example, if the server is running on the local host on the default port, you can reach it by opening the page http://localhost:9090.

To interact with the Novell exteNd Web Services SDK Server from a Java client, you can look at the deploy sample program.
