How do I troubleshoot Web Services?
I have few Web Services Deployed on my local server (localhost) and I have Java Client application which calls them.
Of course, I can run my client in debug mode and set break points, but I don’t know how to deal with Web Services?
You can use remote debugging to debug your web services. Set up a break point in the web service code and it will stop at the break point when it hits it. This link has a good tutorial on setting up tomcat and eclipse for remote debugging. I assumed you are using eclipse but I am sure other IDEs will have similar features.
There is also the web service explorer tool in eclipse. If it’s a JAX-WS webservice then soapUI is a great tool for testing. If it’s a JAX-RS then rest-assured is a useful one.
Ofcourse there is always printing out debug messages in your log file if you prefer not to set up a debugger.
