When I do a telnet to localhost i get below exception .. which means that Q2 Server is not up.
Connecting To 127.0.0.1...Could not open connection to the host, on port 10000: Connect failed
When I do a gradle test I get the below exception
org.jpos.iso.packagers.PackagerTestCase > testXMLPackager FAILED
junit.framework.AssertionFailedError at PackagerTestCase.java:214
org.jpos.util.DailyLogListenerTest > testLogRotationAndCompressionWorks FAILED
java.lang.AssertionError at DailyLogListenerTest.java:303
> Building > :jpos:test > 3145 tests completed, 2 failed, 54 skipped
Can somebody please help as how to bring up the Q2 Server ? I have read proguide-draft.pdf, but could not understand what is the issue. I want to get a server up and running and hit it with some sample requests and get the responses back.
Do I need put some more xmls in deploy directory for Server deployment ? Also after running gradle installApp I could not find any q2.bat in the install directory, I Could find only ..
bsh q2 start stop files.
Thanks in advance,
Varun Kumar A.

You can use "jpos-template" for server and client simulation. Detail how to is here in these beautiful blog posts. As per the ducumentation,
[Implementing a jpos dateway] page no 8
We connect here to jPOS' auto-responder, which is usually up and
listening on port 9000. You could use a local server, for example
based on jPOS-EE's server simulator.
You can use server simulator as a auto responder (remote host as per diagram) to prepare a demo environment of jpos.

Answer 2

Your serve is not deployed properly, you need to add serversimulator.bsh and serversimulator.xml to corresponding folders and then try again.
