How to setup the TCP/IP monitor for Web Services Client to a Remote Web Service

Scenario

Suppose RAD application server is  configured to run on port 9083 and we are having the WSDL that point to the service at port 9081. This proxy set up can be done in RAD using the TCP/IP monitor

How to set up

1. Go to Windows --> Preferences

2. Under Tun/Debug, select TCP/IP Monitor

RAD Preferences window

3. Click on "Add" button, it will open up the "New Monitor" window as shown below

New Monitor window

3. Now specify the port number where you have the remote service running corresponding to Port and specify the Host name. In the example the host name is localhost ie 127.0.0.1

and the port number in the WSDL file as the Local Monitoring port. Click on OK

4. The monitor will be in "Stopped" status. Now click on the "Start" button to the side as shown below

RAD Preferences window

5. To be on safer side re-start the application server.
