Introduction

Pal comes packaged with a series of self-test scripts. To run these, visit the web application root, and navigate to the self-test page. Inspect the result from each script - no errors should appear on the output.

Initial checks

You can carry out some checks immediately after deploying the webapp, as by default it comes with a Sample dataset .

Fingerprint

You can check where the webapp is getting the configuration settings from by checking the webapp admin fingerprint page (see the navigations on the left of the webapp's pages).

The fingerprint page shows which configuration properties are being read from the JNDI values configured in the context file, and which properties are being read from the default.properties file shipped in the WAR file, or from a property file defined by yourself.

Self Tests

On the left side of the webapp's index page is a navbar; at the top of this are some self-test pages which will run some tests to ensure the configuration and querying ability of the webapp is correct.

Running test queries

The dataservice web application contains simple web forms (see the navigation links on the main index page) to submit queries to the datacenter service.
