The same way the service can be stopped again by clicking ‘Stop Service’.

Accessing the Web Services

When the service is running a new WebServer is launched and all the Plugins are loaded correctly.
Even if no custom Plugins were created yet, some default plugins are already available.

Testing WebServices in the Browser

Open your preferred Web-Browser and navigate directly to the CatalogService by entering the following Url in the address bar:
http://localhost:8080/PGS/CATALOGSERVICE

The server responds with a list of the available service methods in the according WebService.
