[MOBY-dev] Dead services and how to figure them out

[Sebastien Carrere]

Hi,

my list contains the DeadServices provided on biomoby.org but also 
services where the following Perl test fails:

eval {$service_instance->execute(XMLinputlist =>[[]])};

The most frequent error is "Service execution failed: 500 Can't connect 
to localhost:8080 (connect: Connection refused)"

I don't know what is exactly done by 
http://moby.ucalgary.ca/moby/ValidateService .

Nevertheless, if we want to test if a webservice "works properly", we 
should first ask service developpers to register with test data.
This is already what we do using the PlayMoby framework.
By this way we survey our services ('not tested', 'ok', 'down') and 
generate a daily report.
