Alternatively you can use Jalview to complete the testing.
This is for anyone who wants to run JABAWS for their group, lab or organization, or wants to enable their local JABA server to use the cluster or perform very large tasks.
Testing
You can test that your JABAWS server is working in several ways.
java -jar <Path to tomcat WebApp directory>/jabaws/WEB-INF/lib/jaba-client.jar -h=http://localhost:8080/jabaws

java -jar jaba-client.jar
