SoapUI and Qpid

Hi,
I'm a newbie to SOAPUI and am currently evaluating the software to be a potential candidate for our team's test framework.
One of our integration testcase is to send a message to a Qpid(a JMS message bus) broker, get a property from the message response and query database on that property value.
After a few juggling I've managed to get Qpid working with HermesJMS (been able to browse a queue and upload a message from HermesJMS)
http://qpid.apache.org/hermesjms.html

However following the SOAPUI instruction for the JMS test I can't get the simple message request/response example to work on the qpidSession defined in HermesJMS.
http://www.soapui.org/tutorials/jms/jms-tutorial.html

Can someone confirm if it's because it's simply not supported by SOAPUI yet or am I making some mistakes when define the request/response queue in the JMS testStep? (the endpoint url 'jms://activeMQSession/queue_testQ1/queue_testQ1' looks to me to be a SOAPUI specific format and is translated in code - I've had a rough look at the JAVA source code)

I'm wondering if my problem is due to SOAPUI API cannot correctly pass on Qpid's endpoint definition: http://cwiki.apache.org/qpid/bindingurlformat.html

Thanks
Yang

    Hi!

    hmm.. are you getting any errors in any of the logs? At what step are things not working? Can you attach a screenshot?

    Could you also please try the 3.5 beta nightly build available at http://www.eviware.com/nightly-builds to see if that works better?

    regards!

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply.

    Following the instructions I mentioned above and by replacing some libraries of HermesJMS - http://markmail.org/message/beulnr2t42p ... te:results
    now I have no problem browsing and uploading messages from HermesJMS to the Qpid queue.

    [HermesJMS_Session.PNG]
    [HermesJMS_Upload_Success.PNG]

    The problem I have is within SOAPUI's SOAP request step I don't seem to be able to send request to the Qpid queue or vice versa.

    Is there a SOAPUI log anywhere I can see what exactly is the endpoint the request is sending to?

    I'm currently running the 3.5 beta pro built on 2009/12/16 03:39. I'm going to try the latest nightly built later but I doubt it'll be any different.

    Thanks

    Hi,
    I tried the latest nightly build and the problem remains (can talk to Qpid broker succesfully in HermesJMS but failed in SOAPUI SOAP request).
    As I said 'Is there a SOAPUI log anywhere I can see what exactly is the endpoint the request is sending to'?
    Please leave me a note if you can't replicate the problem!

    Regards
    Yang

    Hi Yang,

    hmm.. is there any info in any of the log tabs at the bottom? How can we try to replicate this? What do we need to install, etc..?

    regards!

    Hi,
    Yes you'll need to install QPid to reproduce the problem. Here're the instructions:
    1. Download QPid broker: http://www.apache.org/dist/qpid/0.5/qpi ... 0.5.tar.gz
    2. Extract to your local drive.
    3. Install Qpid broker following the instructions in ${QPID_HOME}/README (this will be set up ${QPID_HOME} environment variable and add ${QPID_HOME}/bin to your path)
    4. Replace ${QPID_HOME}/etc/config.xml with the file I attached in the email
    5. Type qpid-server from a windows cmd console
    Hopefully you'll have a running Qpid broker by now with the following information in the console:
    Warning: Qpid classpath not set. CLASSPATH set to C:\qpid-broker-0.5\lib\qpid-al
    l.jar
    Info: QPID_JAVA_GC not set. Defaulting to JAVA_GC -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC
    Info: QPID_JAVA_MEM not set. Defaulting to JAVA_MEM -Xmx1024m
    Using configuration file C:\qpid-broker-0.5\etc\config.xml
    Configuring logger using configuration file C:\qpid-broker-0.5\etc\log4j.xml

    eady :0.5 build: exported

    Now to set up HermesJMS Sessions/Providers following the settings in my screen shots (*the session User/Password are guest/guest)

    You'll also need to replace some incompatible libs under $ {SOAPUI_HOME}/${HERMESJMS_HOME}/lib:
    Remove the following jars:
    *mina-core-1.1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
    *mina-java5-1.1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
    *slf4j-jdk14-1.0.1.jar
    And copy the following jars from ${QPID_HOME}/lib
    *mina-core-1.0.1.jar
    *mina-filter-ssl-1.0.1.jar
    *slf4j-api-1.4.0.jar
    *slf4j-log4j12-1.4.0.jar
    Now you should be able to browse the queues(for example test-queue) from HermesJMS.

    Now try to use the endpoint from SOAPUI you should get the empty response and assertion error.

    Let me know if you have problems replicating.

    Cheers
    Yang
