Run the
TemperatureConverterJsp application on JBoss 7.1.1.
- In the Project Explorer, right-click the
TemperatureConverterPrj project; then select
Run As > Run on Server from the context menu.
- On the Run On Server dialog box, be sure that
JBoss AS 7.1 is selected; then click
Finish.
Eclipse generates an HTTP Status 404 message, indicating that it is unable to find the
http://localhost:8080/TemperatureConverterPrj/ URL. This is expected because the application uses two different URLs to call the two conversion routines with arguments.
Eclipse has a built-in browser window that opens when the server is started, but you can use any external browser to enter the URLs.
- In the Eclipse browser address field, enter the following to run the Fahrenheit to Celsius conversion:
http://localhost:8080/TemperatureConverterPrj/RestApp1/getCelsius?fahrenheit=212
Eclipse presents a .json file dialog box.
- Click
Open to view the results of the method call.
- Repeat steps
3 and
4, substituting the following URL to test the Celsius to Fahrenheit conversion:
http://localhost:8080/TemperatureConverterPrj/RestApp1/getFahrenheit?celsius=36.8
Note: You can change the values of the
fahrenheit and
celsius arguments to see different results.
- To test in an external browser, open a browser of your choice; then enter each of the same URLs.
Depending on your browser, the results are either returned in the browser or you are prompted to save the results to a text file.
