Re: How to load data from a file to SOAP Requests in JMeter

Yes, I can load the whole SOAP request from a file but what I want is to
load only one 'Element'  of the SOAP request, which is my 'data'  to be
included in the SOAP Request, from a file. I can't load the whole SOAP
request from file because of the dependency among various SOAP request and
response messages in my test plan. In the following example, I want to load
only ${myData} from a file:
<soapenv>
 <body>
  <data>${myData} </data>
</body>
</soapenv>

I hope that makes it clear what I want.

Re: Property files question

Ok, I'll try to show some of the bigger picture. We have an internal tool
for management of property files. We use those files not only for tests, but
also for building our software. They are generated per-environment. Each
contains over 50 props, not all of which are relevant to the tests, but all
of them are different, or at least can be different, in each file. We also
have test campaigns that CruiseControl runs against different envirionments
- acceptance, integration and so on. Here our property files work fine
because there's no gui, and a set of tests is run only once.

To "emulate" that behavior in the gui mode, our jmeter files contain one
ugly walkaround. Each of them has a "user defined variables" element per
environment (gives us 4 sets of the same properties per jmx), which use the
syntax ${__P(property,default)} to use whatever comes from a file, or the
default value for the particular environment in case no prop file is
supplied (as in gui mode usually). Enable the one You want, disable the
rest, and You're testing the environment You want. This works, but is ugly
as hell and we'd like to drop it in favor of a cleaner solution. It's
possible to have 4 shortcuts on the desktop each starting jmeter with a
different property file. This is a solution, although not the prettiest
either, because then our tests start to depend on the configuration of the
machine, from which they are run.

So my question is - how can we do it otherwise? To answer Your question -
yes, we want to change all JMeter properties that come from a property file.
These are not all properties that are in the test however. We have some that
are env-independent. In general - things like application paths, ports etc
come from prop files, whereas test data is common to all platforms.

The best would be to switch between the files without having to switch off
the app. Or - referring to what You also wrote down there - would it be

RE: How to load data from a file to SOAP Requests in JMeter

Use a variable in the soap data part of the element surrounded by your
other relevant information.  Load that variable up from the file.. Say
using CSV data set elements.

Re: HTTP Request with increasing number of Parameters

Hi Sebb,

Thanks for the reply. The thing is each iteration adds 63 new parameters
and I want to test for over 100 iterations (6300 parameters).

The aim of this test is the get response times as the URL gets longer so by
defining all the parameters at start (even set to null) this wont allow me
do the testing required.

Any other suggestions would be great.

Thanks in advance,
Eddie

Re: How to load data from a file to SOAP Requests in JMeter

Or in this case StringFromFile might be simpler, just put

<data>${__StringFromFile(filename)}</data>

In either case, each line is a data item.

Do all the files define the same set of property names?
If so, then what I suggested  will work.
If not, then you would need to extend the fix to first delete the
properties defined in the first file, before applying the properties
in the new file. This would mean keeping a copy of the currently
loaded properties separately from the JMeter properties.

Re: HTTP Request with increasing number of Parameters

This is not something JMeter is really designed for.

I assume you are using PUT here. You can use a file as the entire
contents of a PUT, so I suggest you create 100 files of increasing
size and use a counter to step through them.

Or you may be able to use the BeanShell pre-processor to update the
PUT parameters in the sampler. Someone familiar with Java would be
needed to do this.

Re: HTTP Request with increasing number of Parameters

Hi Sebb,

You are correct in assuming these are "PUT" statements.

I was thinking of using a file as well it just certain variables get set by
the server each iteration and will get a bit complicated maintaining these
in a file. I was looking for a quick approach and was thinking maybe JMeter
had some functionality I wasnt aware of that would do this.

I will go about with the file approach.

Thanks for the help,
Eddie

Might be worth looking at BeanShell pre-processor if you have someone
who can do Java code. You could use JMeter to define the variable
parameters in terms of regex extracted variables, and just add the
padding using BeanShell.

Need some Help with test code


I am having a test which assesses code methioned below..

ChartData data = null;
boolean isFourLimits =
fourLimitPtricNameMap.containsKey(parametricItem.getParametricName());
data = new ChartData(Title, cbmYData, longPtricMv, cbmTimestamp,
					shortPtricMv); 
It runs fine until boolean value and it gets boolean value also.
But it is not entering into ChartData() constructor.
Jar file that is used is having ChartData class.
I am unable to figure out why it's not entering into ChartData constructor.
When i run the same test in eclipse IDE i don't get this problem.
Can any one please suggest, what i am missing.
