PROGRAMMING DOMINO FOR WEB APPLICATIONS

Previewing Web services
New in Release 8 is the capability to preview a Web service locally before it is released. Unlike local previews of forms and views, which simply allow a designer to view the form or view, a local preview of a Web service has two distinct parts. First, a simple form is presented for viewing, which contains a link to the WSDL document for the web service. That link is the complete description of the service as it was designed. In addition, the web server is started on your workstation in preview mode and is able to handle SOAP requests sent to it from any other program on the same machine. Therefore development tools can be used to develop the client-side of the web service.

To preview a Web service from the Web services document view

1. In a Web services document view, select or highlight the Web services document you want to preview.

2. Choose Design - Preview in Default Web Browser. You will be prompted to save any changes. If you do not save your changes, Designer will preview your work without the changes.

3. (Optional) To stop the Web browser preview without exiting Notes, choose Tools - Stop Local Web Preview Process.

To preview an open Web service document

1. In an open Web services document, choose Design - Preview in Default Web Browser. You will be prompted to save any changes. If you do not save your changes, Designer will preview your work without the changes.

2. (Optional) To stop the Web browser preview without exiting Notes, choose Tools - Stop Local Web Preview Process.
