Does SoapUI support two concurrent open requests?
The application that I need to test uses long-polling, which works like this:
1. Client registers to receive notifications of certain types of events on the server
2. User submits a request to poll whether any of the registered events have taken place.
The server holds onto that request for up to 30 seconds. If such a notification is generated during that 30 seconds, the server responds to the request with info about the notification. If 30 seconds pass w/o such an notification being generated, the server responds to the request with a 'no notifications' response.
The problem is:
I need to test that the long polling works correctly. In order get the server to generate a notification during that 30 seconds that it's holding onto my notification polling request, I need to submit a second, unrelated web services request to trigger the event that generates the notification.
As far as I can tell, I can only submit requests serially with SoapUI: only after one request gets a response (or times out) can I submit the second request.
