Since the server architecture defines the API, and the client must implement what the server defines, and since many servers are written in java, I find myself in a situation where I need to be able to send:
{“someValue”:null}
Unfortunately, it seems this is unsupported by the gatling API.
Is there a reasonable workaround for this?
What are you doing exactly?
Imagine serializing the following object:
case class SomeArgs(
param1: String,
param2: Map[String, String],
param3: java.lang.Long
)
If param3 = null, gatling’s serialization of this object will resemble:
“{“param1”:“someValue”,“param2”:{…}}”
This is a problem, because the server requires:
“{“param1”:“someValue”,“param2”:{…},“param3”:null}”
I know there is a configuration for the jackson object mapper which DISABLES serializing null values (the current perceived functionality).
I would like to ENABLE serializing null values.
Once again, my question is: “how do you perform the JSON serialization?” = show me the code!!!
Gatling ships 2 JSON parsers, Boon and Jackson.
Ah - I hadn’t implemented the serialization - as soon as you mentioned this I found the implementation of the serializer (I had thought gatling shipped with a default) and was able to modify it accordingly - thanks.
