Chapter 3: Creating Mobile Services
Publishing Mobile services 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 service is running, when you create or in any way update the Mobile
service and its resources, the Web server publishes the service.
If the OE Web Server is not running when you create the Mobile service, or you did not
select the project option to publish changes immediately, you can use the Servers view
to publish the service 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 service (right-click on the OE Web
Server and select Start). Once the OE Web Server is started and synchronized,
right-click on it and select Publish, and any Mobile services not yet published should
publish. Developer Studio publishes each Mobile service in the project as a separate
WAR file, with the name of the Mobile service as its filename, to the selected OE Web
Server for testing.
To test a published Mobile service, you either need to write a Mobile App or use a
REST client, such as the Postman REST Client, and use the absolute URIs of Mobile
operations to send HTTP requests to execute those operations. For more information,
see the “URIs for accessing Mobile Web applications, services, and resources” section
on page 81.
For information on deploying Mobile services for production, see Chapter 5, “Deploying
Mobile Applications.”
