Description Benoit LAVENIER 2006-09-06 11:39:50 UTC

Why not create a Web Services proxy ? I mean a proxy that create Web Services
Samplers.

I did it from http proxy sucessfully class.

You maybe will need to check the code, because i had some hack code 

The attached JAR file with binary AND source

JAR file (with sources) for enable web services proxy

put the jar in your <JMETER_HOME>/lib/ext direcoty
Then add the following line in <JMETER_HOME>/bin/jmeter.properties file :
    search_paths=../lib/ext/ApacheJMeter_wsproxy.jar

Comment 2 Sebb 2006-09-06 12:32:23 UTC

Thanks!

BTW, there should be no need to update search_paths if the jar is in the 
lib/ext directory.

Comment 5 Benoit LAVENIER 2006-09-14 09:31:02 UTC

I posted a new version od the proxy : 
- Now the Proxy record not only WebServices (SOAP) request, but also HTTP request.
- In addition, you could configure a redirection (host and port) of all requests

What is the purpose of the HttpReplyHdr class?
It seems to be the same as the existing one in http/proxy.

Likewise, what is the purpose of the wsproxy/WebServiceSampler class? 
It redefines convertSoapHeaders and changes the key/value separator from "=" 
to ": " and adds some extra information to the sampleResult. The new class 
won't be used by existing test plans. If the changes are worthwhile, then they 
should be added to the existing class.

What is the purpose of the host/port redirection?

Comment 7 Benoit LAVENIER 2007-02-28 02:42:44 UTC

Hi Sebb !
- The HttpReplyHdr class has no changes.
- i agree with you : the wsproxy/WebServiceSampler should not exists anymore. I
didn't wanted to change existing classes at all, that's why i made a lot of code
duplication. In addition, i had few time to develop the WSProxy, so you should
examine in details all my code.
- host/port redirection should help to redirect the SOAP request without setting
up a proxy in the WebService client. My client soft (soft under test) don't
support proxy redirection, that's why i add redirection capability.

I have found two majors bugs in the WSProxy : 
- bad data encoding (i.e. specials caracters in ISO-8859-15 are converted into '?')
- binaries datas are not supported very well (i.e. jpg).

Thanks !(In reply to comment #6)
