Getting Started with the Web Service Client:
A Collection of Tutorials



Before you begin the tutorials

One fact about Web Service clients is that they can be written in almost any programming language. In this series of tutorials, the sample code has been developed in the Java programming language.

Before starting these tutorials, ensure that the EGO Web Service API plug-in is installed in Eclipse and the Platform EGO runtime has been installed, configured, and running on a host cluster. The sample programs use a URL or IP address and port number to communicate with a Web Service gateway in the master host. The gateway is installed as part of Platform EGO. It comes with a configuration file called wsg.conf where the port number for the gateway can be defined. By default the port number is 9090. The default location for the wsg.conf file is /opt/ego/kernel/conf/. The gateway URL can then be formed by using the hostname where the gateway is running and the port number, i.e., http://host:port. This URL is passed as an input argument to the client samples.

Also, try to connect to the Web Service gateway using a browser by entering the URL or IP address and port number of the gateway. If you cannot connect through the browser, you will not be able to run the samples.
