With eXo IDE, you cannot only write and deploy services, but launch these services and view service response
in the
Output
tab. You can view
WADL-description
of methods, make requests with your ownheader,
query,
path parameters
and
body content
using one of the supported methods. To do that, simply click
on the toolbar,
Or, go to → from the top menu as follows:
Select the deployed REST Service.
Click
on the toolbar to get the
REST Service
form which is relied on the WADL-description of REST Service.
Select and type the path to the service in the Path field. Path parameters are enclosed in curly braces.
Select one of the supported methods from the Method combo-box.
Select the appropriate Request Media Type.
Check the Response Media Type.
Uncheck the redundant query parameters and set values of the rest in the table at the bottom of the dialog window.
Go to the Header Parameters middle tab and set appropriate values.
Set request with the body content within the Body tab. This tab is disabled for the GET request.
Click .
You will receive a success message if the path is verified to be correct or an error message in the Output tab.
