Sending a JMS endpoint request

You can send requests to services that use a Java™ Messaging Service (JMS) endpoint.

Before you begin

If the service uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) authentication, create an SSL configuration before sending the request. For more information, see Creating SSL configurations.

Procedure

To send a request to a JMS service:

  1. Click the Open the Generic Service Client toolbar button (Open the Generic Service Client button) and select the Requests page.
  2. Click Add (Add button) and click a type of request that you want to send or in Request Library, right-click EndPoints and select a type of request that you want to send.
  3. In the Configure Protocol window, select JMS and specify the JMS transport configuration. If necessary, click New to create an JMS transport configuration for the call.
  4. Click Add to specify any properties that are to be sent with the call.
  5. Click Next.
  6. On the Select Root Element page, if the service uses a specific XML Schema Definition (XSD), select one from the list or click Browse to import the XSD file, and then, select the root element for the call. If no XSD is available for the service, select No Schema.
  7. Click Finish. The request is added to the Endpoints section of the Request Library.
  8. In the Request Library, select the request element. The generic service client shows 3 steps: Edit Data, Invoke, and View Response. The details for the request are displayed under the Edit Data step.
  9. On the Message page, use the Form, Tree, or Source views to edit the contents of the request. Each view shows a different format of the same data. If you want to add or remove XML elements in the Form or Tree view, you can click Schema > Validate and Assist to comply with an XSD specified in the schema catalog.
  10. On the Transport page, if necessary, change the transport configuration for the request. You can create and edit transport and security configurations by clicking the Transport tab.
  11. On the Request Stack page, specify whether you want to override the security or processing algorithms that are applied to the outgoing request for the WSDL. Click Show Response Stack to add a Response Stack page to edit the security or processing algorithms for incoming responses.
    Note: These settings apply only to the current request. If you want to edit the request or response stack for all requests that use the current WSDL file, click Edit WSDL Security to open the WSDL Security Editor.
  12. When you are ready, click Invoke to send the service request. The generic service client sends the request and displays the message return under the View Response step.

What to do next

Successful requests are recorded and added to the Request History list. If you are using IBM Rational® Performance Tester or IBM Rational Service Tester for SOA Quality, you can click the Generate Test Suite button (Generate Test Suite) to create a service test.
