The WMS Tester is a java program that will test the responses from a WMS. It can be used on any WMS, either those from within your organisation or external to it. It can be used when you are having problems with a WMS that is used in Weave, as it will test the WMS itself, without any reference to the WMS in the Weave environment. Sometimes it is difficult to determine whether a problem is originating in Weave or in the data and services that Weave is using and with the WMS Tester you will at least be able to test the performance of the WMS in isolation from Weave.

Using the WMS Tester
The WMS Tester file (wmstest.jar) can be stored anywhere but for the purpose of simplicity we will assume it's been downloaded and stored in your c:\<weave installation folder>, e.g. c:\weave. It requires java to run so if you don't have Java installed you can use the Java executable that is installed with Weave (e.g. c:\weave\jre\bin).

c:\weave\jre\bin\java -jar c:\weave\wmstest.jar -u http://services.ga.gov.au/gis/services/Aviation_Facilities/MapServer/WMSServer -d
