I. Initial Set up your project for the WSDL Specification :

• Why/How to store the mock data in the centralized place: It always provides a choice to choose your data base and configure(spring-jpa). Need to provide data base information in the Application.properties in the "src/main/resources" directory of your spring boot application: This would requires if you don't want to loose the existing mock data because as you redeploy the code the data would be lost.

• In memory DB: (Eveny restart you lose the old data)

  • virtualan.datasource.driver-class-name=org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver
  • virtualan.datasource.jdbcurl=jdbc:hsqldb:mem:dataSource
  • virtualan.datasource.username=sa
  • virtualan.datasource.password=

• Add the following entry for each Interface Spec/wsdl to be set up as mock service:

  • to setup "apex.wsdl" need to add following entry in the pom.xml. refer the pom.xml for reference

II. Navigate to root directory of the folder where pom.xml was present:

• Build: - mvn clean install

  • If you have any proxy issue use this command: mvn -Dhttps.protocols=TLSv1,TLSv1.1,TLSv1.2 clean install

• Run using standalone JAR:

  • java -jar target/virtualan-wsdl-demo.jar

• To set up data:

  - Using Virtualan-UI:       
  	https://github.com/virtualansoftware/virtualan/wiki/Test-Data-Set-up-using-Virtualan
  
  - open API Contract: 
    https://github.com/virtualansoftware/virtualan/blob/master/modules/virtualan-plugin/src/main/resources/virtualservices.yaml
  
  
  - Using Virtualan-Rest service: for automation usecases

• Invoke Virtualan UI:

  • Navigate to http://localhost:8080/virtualan-ui.html
