Lesson 1.2: Using the generic service client to create a service test
The generic service client is a multipurpose tool that is designed to send requests to any kind of service that uses an HTTP, JMS, or WebSphere® MQ transport and to view the message that the service returns.
About this task
The generic service client is useful for debugging or testing a service when you do not have access to a dedicated client to invoke the service call. You can set up a wide variety of transport and security configurations for the service, edit the parameters of the call and send attachments.
Although you can record a service test in a variety of ways, this lesson focuses on using the generic service client to send a series of service requests and to generate a service test with the results.
