Specifically for RESTful web
services, the IDE provides
test functionality.
For a full tutorial that shows how to
test RESTful web services,
see:
To test RESTful web services:
Right-click the web application
project that contains the RESTful
web services.
Choose Test RESTful Web Services.
The server is started, if it is
not running already, and the web services
are shown in the IDE's default browser.
In the browser, you will find buttons
and drop-down lists for testing the
methods exposed by the web services
made available by the project.
