Run a Sample Application Using the Provided Scripts in the Web Services SDK

You can use the
run.bat
 or
run.sh
 script to run any of the Java samples. The
SimpleClient
 sample is a good choice to verify that your installation is correct. The path to the source file for SimpleClient is:
%WS_SDK_HOME%\java\JAXWS\samples\com\vmware\general\SimpleClient.java
When you run the script, specify the Java class for the sample application along with the
--url
,
--username
, and
--password
 switches on the command line. Include the complete package name in the Java class specification. The following statement shows the general format for using the
run.bat
 script to run the
SimpleClient
 sample application from the Java samples subdirectory for JAX-WS: 
run.bat com.vmware.general.SimpleClient --url https://yourFQDNservername/sdk 
                   --username username --password password [--ignorecert ignorecert]
The following example shows sample output from the SimpleClient sample program.

To run the precompiled SimpleClient from the command prompt, do the following procedure.
  1. Open a Windows command prompt or shell prompt on Linux.
  2. Navigate to the Java samples subdirectory. 
    cd %WS_SDK_HOME%\java\JAXWS\samples
  3. Invoke the Java runtime, providing the full package name of the SimpleClient, server URN, credentials, and Java keyStore location, or the
    --ignorecert
     argument. The complete syntax is as follows: 
    java -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=keystore-path-or-%KEYSTORE%-environment-variable 
         
    package-hierarchy-classname
     --url server-url --username 
    username
     
         --password password [--ignorecert ignorecert]
    For example: 
    java -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=%VMKEYSTORE% com.vmware.general.SimpleClient 
         --url https://example.com/sdk --username pubs --password ***
         --ignorecert ignorecert
    If error messages occur due to system heap or other memory problems, you can give the Java VM more memory, as follows: 
    java -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=%VMKEYSTORE% -Xms512M -Xmx1024M 
        com.vmware.general.SimpleClient https://sdkpubslab-02.eng.vmware.com/sdk 
        --username 
    username
     
        --password 
    password
     --ignorecert ignorecert
