Is One Request and Multiple Replies (JMS) possible?

Gatling (Open-Source)
1

Hi everyone,

I’m experience a problem something that I don’t know how to fix it.

I use Gatling for preformance testing on our JMS, with single (xml) requests I’ve got it working with an custom messagematcher.

However now I’m facing a problem I don’t know how to fix it, or even if that Gatling can do this.

I am sending a single request which include multiple transaction/orders (big xml), in this XML i’ve got multiple transactions which our system gives an reply to.

This means for example: 1 requests (with 10 transactions) gives 10 replies, however gatling will process this as 1 requests.

I know i can create something custom for matching the multiplie replies and have this reported outside of Gatling, but we like the gatling reporting.

So i was wondering, can i make Gatling match & report multiple replies when i am sending one request?

Kind regards,

Mitch

Hi,

Sadly no, it’s not supported atm.
Contributions welcome !

If some else got the same problem, this is how i semi-fixed it. This gives an report how long it will take to process all my requests as one request.

Note: i’ve saved/generated my id’s in an list(RequestsIDS) when generating the request(xml), ResponseIDS starts as an empty list.

object CustomXMLMatcher extends JmsMessageMatcher {
  override def prepareRequest(msg: Message): Unit = {}

  override def requestMatchId(msg: Message): String = getIdFromRequest(msg)

  override def responseMatchId(msg: Message): String = getIdFromResponse(msg)

  def getIdFromRequest(msg: Message): String = try {
    //Because gatling sees it as only 1 request, chaned the requestid to customstring to match when all are matched
    requestId = "MATCHID"
    requestId
  }
    // having a try without a catch, gives warning in Gatling/Scala, removed it in this example for readability
	
  def getIdFromResponse(msg: Message): String = try {
    val xmlString = msg.asInstanceOf[TextMessage].getText
    val xml = scala.xml.XML.loadString(xmlString)
    val id = xml \\ "ID"
    var responseId = id.text.toString
      // loop true all my requests to see if matches the reply
    for (id <- RequestIDS) {
      if(responseId.contains(id.toString)){
        ResponseIDS += id
        }

    }
      // if response array is equal to request array all messages are matched
      if (RequestIDS.length == ResponseIDS.length) {
          // all requestids are gotten back so now we can match to the request message
        responseId = "MATCHID"
      }
    responseId
  }
