Service layer- Testing Rest services in localhost

[SreeSindhuSruth]

Hi,

Can some one let me know the process of testing the rest services using localhost:8000/rest/test using virgo/tomcat independent of UI layer.

Tried following approaches:

I tried adding the service to the virgo server and started virgo server in eclipse. However localhost:8000 didn't work.

Downloaded virgo-nano and tried startup.bat from command line still localhost wasn't up.

Have you verified that the port 8000 is configured in Virgo. Virgo listens to 8080 and 8443 (for SSL) by default - can you check in server/configuration/tomcat-server.xml that you have 8000 configured as the port:

...

<Connector port="8000" protocol="HTTP/1.1" ...

...

I am trying to use a virgo-nano which is in location

C:\Virgo\virgo-nano

It doesn't have any server folder in it.

OK, my answer was taking into account the fact that you didn't start with virgo-nano - I assumed you tried to test with the vSphere Client app server coming with the vSphere Client SDK (which is based on virgo-tomcat-server).

As far as I know virgo-nano does not come with web support out of the box so you need to deploy additional OSGi bundle that can provide servlet support.

Just tried downloading virgo-apache tomcat and extracted the zip file and tried to start the server .

Tested localhost:8000/ doesn;t work.

Under configuration/tomcat-server.xml

<Service name="Catalina">
    <Connector address="127.0.0.1" port="8080" 
               protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol"
               connectionTimeout="20000" enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" />

Please let me know on what needs to be fixed to bring the server up.

As you can see from line 2 of the configuration snippet, the port to which virgo is configured to listen for connections on port 8080. Either change the configuration to say port="8000" and restart virgo, or use localhost:8080.

started the server from eclipse ide by adding the osgi -spring -service

Console shows

Artifact 'xxx.jar' caused exception when read for repository 'stage'.

Tried localhost:8080/rest/.... Result :HTTP status 404.

using eclipse IDE,

I make a build that generates jar file

configured the project to the server by add and remove and

Started the server.

what am I doing wrong here?

From only this message it seems that the Virgo server cannot read its "stage" repository - it is the location where Eclipse Virgo Tooling deploys the bundles added under the server in the Servers view.

I am not able to reproduce the issue under Windows. If you are using Mac check the permissions and ownership information of the folder - it should match that of the user running the Eclipse / Virgo instance. Make sure the folder is cleaned before you retry starting the server.

As the question is not vSphere Client SDK specific I believe you will get more answers in the Virgo forum - Eclipse Community Forums: Virgo
