Publishing Mobile Apps for testing
Publishing Mobile Apps for testing
When you create a Mobile project in Developer Studio, if you choose the option to
publish changes immediately, as long as the OE Web Server that you have selected
for a Mobile App is running, when you create or in any way update the Mobile App and
its resources in Developer Studio, the Web server publishes it as a Mobile Web App.
This also occurs after you save a Mobile App project in Mobile App Builder. The saved
Mobile App is automatically downloaded to the Mobile Apps folder in the shared
Developer Studio project. Developer Studio publishes the Mobile App from this folder
as a WAR file, with the name of the Mobile App as its filename, to the selected OE Web
Server for testing.
If the OE Web Server is not running when you initially create the Mobile App, or you did
not select the project option to publish changes immediately, you can use the Servers
view to publish the Mobile App by first starting the AppServer for the project (right-click
on the AppServer and select Start). Once the AppServer is started and synchronized,
you can start the OE Web Server instance for the Mobile App (right-click on the OE
Web Server instance and select Start). Once the OE Web Server is started and
synchronized, right-click on it and select Publish, and any Mobile App not yet
published should publish.
To test a published Mobile App, you should already have coded the appropriate URIs
to login to the Mobile Web application that provides the JSDO catalog for the published
Mobile services you need. For more information, see the section on identifying URIs for
Mobile Web applications in Chapter 3, “Creating Mobile Services.”
For information on deploying Mobile Apps for production, see Chapter 5, “Deploying
Mobile Applications.”
