Configuration

The first step to making a web service listener work is to create a client configuration.

URI: refers to the alias of configuration

active: a boolean value to enable or not the client configuration.

asynchronous: whether you want to send the request synchronously (false) or asynchronously (true).

Uses

You can send HTTP requests using Postman.

The input must take one of the 4 events:

no params and no input. just a scenario triggers.

params passed via the URI, as RequestParams

file upload

send a body object in the request (XML, JSON...)

Each HTTP Method takes some or all events:

GET : events 1 & 2.

POST : events 1, 2, 3 & 4.

PUT: events 1, 2, 3 & 4.

DELETE: events 1 & 2.

Example

let's assume that we have a client configuration called 'HelloWorld', and try to send an event with the POST method.

the Scenario :

and the listener :

We will send an XML object to WSListener using Postman, in order to insert a simple Tracking.
