The jBroker Web 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 SilverStream Application Server. The jBroker Web Server is capable of dispatching incoming SOAP requests to a set of deployed Web Services.In addition to the basic dispatch functionality, the jBroker Web 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 jBroker Web Server allows you to deploy a standard WAR file to some location below the server's root URL.
The jBroker Web 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 jBroker Web 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 jBroker Web 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 jBroker Web Server from a Java client, you can look at the deploy sample program.
