Start the Corticon Server to launch the axis.war application server that was deployed. With the application server running, type the following URL in your preferred browser: 
http://localhost:8850/axis/corticon/server/ping
That makes a REST call to the running Corticon Server to get the time (in milliseconds) that the Corticon Server has been running, as illustrated:


Additionally, you can use any REST or SOAP test tools, such as Postman, Swagger or SoapUI, to connect through the web services deployed inside the web application axis.war.

Testing with Swagger

Note: Corticon incorporates Swagger into its REST endpoints; however, you must take a few steps to enable it. See The REST API Swagger documentation

To access Corticon's Swagger page, enter the URL to the machine with its port, the web application name, and the string swagger. The Tomcat server that comes with the Corticon Server install has opened port 8850 to receive requests. The full URL to connect to the Corticon Swagger page is: http://localhost:8850/axis/swagger

Note: Remote Swagger target—Swagger can respond to a Corticon Server installation on a remote machine. To do so, edit the local Swagger configuration definition for Tomcat in the Corticon Server home at C:\Progress\Corticonx.x\Server\tomcat\webapps\axis\swagger\index.html. Modify the line: 
url = "http://localhost:8850/axis/corticon/openapi.json"
On 6.1 and earlier: 
url = "http://localhost:8850/axis/corticon/swagger.json"
to replace localhost with the IP address or DNS-resolvable machine name of your web/application server.


For example, choose the Server, typically axis, and then choose the Server section and its ping command:

On the panel that drops down with implementation notes and response messages, click Execute.

The response is in the following form:


The Corticon Java web service is running.
