To use the Harness driver, specify it on the command line (or in the IDE environment) as
follows:
java –Dzli.propertyFile=my.properties Harness arguments
The first argument is the name of a driver class, such as Dispatch. or HttpPost. The
remaining arguments are the parameters for the driver.
After the driver starts, it validates metadata and then displays a prompt (the '>' symbol) to
let you type a command. To test an updated metadata class, you type -c to load the
updated class; the Harness validates the metadata, and if there are no exceptions, you can
test XML files using the updated metadata. The Harness also lets you inspect the output
XML files, then modify the input file (or create new input files) to do additional tests and
immediately execute the modified inputs. After inspecting the new outputs, you can
modify the metadata or the input XML files and repeat the tests.
To exit the Harness, type the "exit" command.
See the JavaDocs for Harness for more details.
