14.4.5 Step 5: Debugging and testing servlets

Now we are ready to debug and test the servlets. To initiate the application, we

will start Netscape Navigator and type the following URL:

http://m23bzzrc/HostPublisher/InputRequest

where m23bzzrc is our server’s hostname.

The browser sends the request to the Host Publisher server, the InputRequest

Servlet is initialized, and as a result an input form is send back to the browser

(see Figure 14-19 on page 403).

You should then type an account number (10200 in our example). The

InputRequest calls HostResponse servlet to initiate the host connection. After

retrieving information from the CICS application, an HTML response is sent back

to the browser, as shown in Figure 14-20.
