Testing the REST Service in OpenShift

You can deploy the REST service in OpenShift environment and test by using the built-in tester and the Swagger UI.

1. In the Project Explorer, expand the tibco.bwce.sample.binding.rest.BookStore.application process and expand the Package Unit > Properties folder.
2. In the Properties window, expand the tibco.bwce.sample.binding.rest.BookStore.application and set the default Application Profile to Docker as shown in the following image:
   
3. Expand the Package Unit and select Overview.
4. In the Overview window select Export Application for Deployment.
5. In your Docker environment, navigate to the directory containing your EAR file.
6. To login to the OpenShift environment, run the following command:

   oc login <OpenShift_Server_URL>

7. If the project is not created, create an OpenShift project by running the following command:

   oc new-project <PROJECT_NAME>

8. To build an application docker image, run the following command:

   docker build -t <APPLICATION_NAME> .

9. To tag an application docker image with your docker repository, run the following command:

   docker tag <APPLICATION_IMAGE_NAME> <DOCKER_REPOSITORY_NAME>/<APPLICATION_IMAGE_NAME>

10. To push a docker image to the docker repository, run the following command.

    docker push <DOCKER_REPOSITORY_NAME>/<APPLICATION_IMAGE_NAME>

    Note: Here the docker hub registry is used to push the docker image. You can push images to OpenShift internal registry or any other public registry.
11. To use the OpenShift configuration file (YAML or JSON) and push the application on OpenShift, run the following command.

    oc create -f <MANIFEST_FILENAME>

    
12. To create a route for application, run the following command.

    oc expose service <APPLICATION_SERVICE_NAME>

    
13. To view the route of an application, run the following command:

    oc get route

    
14. Open the Google Chrome browser and open http://ROUTABLE_URL/swagger.
    
15. In the Swagger UI, click Books or Events to see the operations and then click MyBooks to see the REST service operations you just added. For more information, see Testing the POST and GET Operations.
16. Expand the Books and Events headers, and test the operations as follows.
