  <a name="TestingWebLDAP"></a><div class="header2">Testing LDAP Web Interface</div>  

  <p>The following skins use a perl based LDAP web interface to create

     accounts, change passwords and reset forgotten passwords: </p>

  <a name="TestingRegistry"></a><div class="header2">Testing Metadata Registry</div>   

  <p>The following skins use a perl based registry service to register metadata and

     data in metacat via the web: </p>

     <div class="code">nceas, esa, ltss, obfs, nrs, sanparks, saeon</div>

  <p>Following the instructions in the <a href="#TestingSkins"> Testing Skins</a> section

     go to each of these skins and test:</p>

  <ul>

  <li>Choose the "Register Dataset" link</li>

  <li>Fill out required fields.  Note that there are typically many different fields.  

      You should test out different combinations including attaching datasets if

      available.</li>

  <li>Hit the "Submit Dataset" button</li>

  <li>Review the information for accuracy</li>

  <li>Submit the data set</li>

  <li>You should get a "Success" message.</li>

  <li>Search for the data set in metacat and review for accuracy</li>

  </ul>

  <a name="TestingEcogridRegistry"></a><div class="header2">Testing the EcoGrid Registry Service</div>  

  <p>The EcoGrid registry service maintains a database of systems that are available to EcoGrid. Primarily, 

  these are Metacat instances which are built with the EcoGrid service automatically activated.  Testing

  the registry service is somewhat complicated.  The procedure described here uses Eclipse to test. 

  These instructions assume that you have Eclipse installed and the Seek project set up as a Java project

  in Eclipse.</p>

  <ul>

  <li>Configure the Seek project in Eclipse

    <ul>

    <li>Right click on the Seek project and go to Properties->Java Build Path->Source</li>

    <li>Only the following two direcories should be set up as source:

      <ul>

      <li>seek/projects/ecogrid/src</li>

      <li>seek/projects/ecogrid/tests</li>

      </ul>

    </li>

    <li>Right click on the Seek project and go to Properties->Java Build Path->Libraries</li>

    <li>Add all Jars from:

      <ul>

      <li>seek/projects/ecogrid/lib/</li>

      <li>seek/projects/ecogrid/lib/axis-1_3/</li>

      <li>seek/projects/ecogrid/build/lib/</li>

      </ul>

    </li>  

    <li>If you do not already have an Ant view open in Eclipse, in the menu, go to 

        Window->Show View->Ant</li>

    <li>drag the file from the seek project at seek/projects/ecogrid/build.xml into

        the Ant window you just opened.</li>

    <li>Double click the serverjar and stubjar targets to build those jar files.<li>

    <li>Right click on the Seek project and go to Properties->Java Build Path->Libraries</li>

    <li>Add the two Jar files you just created:

      <ul>

      <li>seek/projects/ecogrid/lib/RegistryServiceImpl.jar</li> 

      <li>seek/projects/ecogrid/lib/RegistryService-stub.jar</li>   

      </ul> 

    </li>  

    </ul>

  </li>

  <li>View the RegistryServiceClient usage

    <ul>

    <li>In Eclipse, go to the registry service client at: <br>

        seek/projects/ecogrid/src/org/ecoinformatics/ecogrid/client/RegistryServiceClient.java</li>

    <li>Right click on RegistryServiceClient.java and go to Run As->Open Run Dialog</li>

    <li>Name it something like "RegistryServiceClient noargs" since you are running it without arguments.</li>

    <li>Hit the "Apply" button and then the "Run" button.</li>

    <li>Proceed past the project error warning dialog</li>

    <li>In the Eclipse console you should see usage instructions that look like:

      <ul>

      <li>Usage: java RegistryServiceClient add session_id local_file GSH</li>

      <li>Usage: java RegistryServiceClient update session_id  docid local_file GSH</li>

      <li>Usage: java RegistryServiceClient remove session_id docid GSH</li>

      <li>Usage: java RegistryServiceClient list session_id GSH</li>

      <li>Usage: java RegistryServiceClient query session_id query_field query_string GSH</li>

      </ul>

    </li>

    <li>Note: now you can run the client using the green "run" button in the Eclipse

    menu. We will use that button from now on, instead of going to the java file.</li>

    </ul>    

  </li> 

  <li>List Registry Services on dev

    <ul>

    <li>In Eclipse, go to the green run button dropdown and choose "Open Run Dialog"</li>

    <li>Right click on the "RegistryServiceClient noargs" configuration you created earlier and choose "duplicate".</li>   

    <li>Name your new configuration "RegistryServiceClient list dev.nceas"

    <li>Go to the Arguments tab and enter: list 12345 http://dev.nceas.ucsb.edu/registry/services/RegistryService

      <ul>

      <li>This conforms to the list usage we saw earlier</li>

      <li>Note that the session ID is not needed for listing, so we include a random value.</li>

      <li>GSH always refers to the server where the registry database is held.</li>

      </ul>

    </li>

    <li>Choose "Run"</li>

    <li>Proceed past the project error warning dialog</li>

    <li>You should see a listing of details for all services registered on the dev server.</li>

    </ul>

  </li> 

  <li>Register a new  service on dev

    <ul>

    <li>Look in your service list you just printed and find a service that has a 

        service type of: http://ecoinformatics.org/identifierservice-1.0.0</li>

    <li>Get the service ID and use it to get the xml description from dev metacat by going to:</br>

        http://kepler-dev.nceas.ucsb.edu/kepler/metacat/&lt;service_id&gt;</li>

    <li>Save the file to disk</li>

    <li>Edit the file and change the id to something unique and the description to be something

        easily recognizable.</li>

    <li>In the browser, go to: http://kepler-dev.nceas.ucsb.edu/kepler/style/skins/dev/login.html</li>

    <li>Log in and make note of the sessionId that was returned</li>

    <li>In Eclipse, go to the green run button dropdown and choose "Open Run Dialog"</li>

    <li>Right click on the "RegistryServiceClient noargs" configuration you created earlier and choose "duplicate".</li>   

    <li>Name your new configuration "RegistryServiceClient add-test dev.nceas"

    <li>Go to the Arguments tab and enter: add &lt;sessionId&gt; &lt;xml_file_path&gt; http://dev.nceas.ucsb.edu/registry/services/RegistryService

      <ul>

      <li>This conforms to the add usage we saw earlier</li>

      <li>The &lt;sessionId&gt; is the id you got after loggin in via the dev skin.</li>

      <li>The &lt;xml_file_path&gt; is the full path to the descriptor file you downloaded and modified.</li>

      <li>GSH always refers to the server where the registry database is held.</li>

      </ul>

    </li>

    <li>Choose "Run"</li>

    <li>Proceed past the project error warning dialog</li>

    <li>You should see a message saying: "The new id is &lt;id&gt;, where &lt;id&gt; is the unique id

        you added to the service descriptor file.</li>

    <li>Follow the instructions shown above to list services to make sure your new service shows up</li>

    </ul>  

  </li>      

  </ul>
