Step 7: Start the container

To recap, the getIdentifier operation has been created and implemented, a test for the operation has been added to the client, and the service has been deployed to a container. We now need to open a terminal and start up the grid service container to make our service available.

• Windows
  
  

  %> cd %CATALINA_HOME%\bin 
  
  %> startup.bat
  

• Unix
  
  

  %> cd $CATALINA_HOME\bin 
  
  %> startup.sh
  

• Once the container comes up, you will be able to verify that the service was loaded properly by seeing it in your browser.
  • http://127.0.0.1:8080/wsrf/services/cagrid/StockManager
  • Or similarly: http://localhost:8080/wsrf/services/cagrid/StockManager

You should see the following:
