# go to correct directory examples/example01 and start the service

Each running service listens on two ports: The data port and the maintenance port.

The service in this example runs on the local machine, and listens on port 40104021.

The second port is the maintenance port. The convention we use at SOAJS for maintenance ports is maintenance port = data port + 1000 therefore, the maintenance port is 5010 for this service.

...

curl -X GET "http://127.0.0.1:50105021/heartbeat"

The response below indicates that the service is running without any errors.

...

The first API to test is the "TestGet". In this scenario, the request is sent with only the "firstName" input. The request does not contain the second mandatory input: "lastName". So we expect the response to return with an error.

curl -X GET "http://127.0.0.1:40104021/testGet?firstName=John"

As expected, the API returned an error response. Since "lastName" is a required field and is missing in the querystring, the IMFV stopped the request returned an error response.

...

curl -X GET "http://127.0.0.1:40104021/testGet?firstName=John&lastName=Smith" 

...

{"result": true,"data": {"firstName": "John","lastName": "Smith"}}

"testPost" API: Success

This API is exactly like testGet but uses the "post" method.

curl -X POST -H "Content-type:application/json" -H "Accept:application/json" "http://127.0.0.1:40104021/testPost" -d '{"firstName":"John","lastName":"Smith","email":"john@smith.com"}'

...

This request fails because of the invalid firstName "johnx" (Instead of "john"). This restriction is specified in the service itself.

curl -X POST -H "Content-type:application/json" -H "Accept:application/json" "http://127.0.0.1:40104021/testPost" -d '{"firstName":"Johnx","lastName":"Smith"}'

...

SOAJS also provides supports the PUT method:

curl -X PUT -H "Content-type:application/json" -H "Accept:application/json" "http://127.0.0.1:40104021/testPut" -d '{"firstName":"John","lastName":"Smith"}'

...

SOAJS also provides supports the DEL protocol:

curl -X DELETE "http://127.0.0.1:40104021/testDel?firstName=John&lastName=Smith"

...

In this first request, both "firstName" and a "lastName" parameters are supplied.

curl -X GET "http://127.0.0.1:40104021/buildName?firstName=James&lastName=Smith"

...

curl -X GET "http://127.0.0.1:40104021/buildName?lastName=Smith"

{"result": true,"data": {"fullName": "John Smith"}}
