Before you can use the Web client, you must configure it to call
the appropriate end points in your CICS® system.
- Enter the following in your Web browser: http://myserver:9080/ExampleAppClientWeb/,
where myserver is the hostname of
the server on which the Web service client is installed.
The example application
displays the page shown in Figure 1:

Application
- Click the CONFIGURE button to bring up the
configuration page. The configuration page shown in Figure 2 displayed.

Application
- Enter the new endpoints for the Web service. There are
three endpoints to configure:
- Inquire catalog
- Inquire item
- Place order
- In the URLs replace the string 'myCicsServer'
with the name of the system on which your CICS is running.
- Replace the port number '9999'
with the port number configured in the TCPIPSERVICE, in the example this to
30000.
- Click the SUBMIT button.
The Web application is now ready to run.
Note: The URL that the Web services invoke is stored in an HTTP session.
It is therefore necessary to repeat this configuration step each time a browser
is first connected to the client.
