Lesson 4.2: Running the service stub server

In this lesson, learn how to deploy a service stub onto a stub server that is running on your local computer.

About this task

When you have finished editing the service stub, you can deploy the stub on a local stub server, which runs in the workbench. The stub server simulates an actual application server and can host multiple service stubs. You control the stub server from the stub monitor view.

Finally, to use the service stub instead of the original service, change the URL that the client application uses to point to the local stub server instead of the original application server. This URL and the WSDL of the service stub are provided in the stub monitor view.
