| <div class="note"> |
| JMS requires some optional jars to be downloaded. Please refer to <a href="get-started.html">Getting Started</a> for full details. |
| </div> |
| <div class="clear"></div> |
| |
| <p>In this section, you will learn how to create a |
| <a href="build-test-plan.html">Test Plan</a> to test JMS Providers. You will |
| create five subscribers and one publisher. You will create 2 thread groups and set |
| each one to 10 iterations. The total messages is (6 threads) x (1 message) x |
| (repeat 10 times) = 60 messages. To construct the Test Plan, you will use the |
| following elements: |
| <a href="test_plan.html#thread_group">Thread Group</a>, |
| <a href="../usermanual/component_reference.html#JMS_Publisher">JMS Publisher</a>, |
| <a href="../usermanual/component_reference.html#JMS_Subscriber">JMS Subscriber</a>, and |
| <a href="../usermanual/component_reference.html#Graph_Results">Graph Results</a>.</p> |
| |
| |
| <p>General notes on JMS: There are currently two JMS samplers. One uses JMS topics |
| and the other uses queues. Topic messages are commonly known as pub/sub messaging. |
| Topic messaging is generally used in cases where a message is published by a producer and |
| consumed by multiple subscribers. Queue messaging is generally used for transactions |
| where the sender expects a response. Messaging systems are quite different from |
| normal HTTP requests. In HTTP, a single user sends a request and gets a response. |
| Messaging system can work in synchronous and asynchronous mode. A JMS sampler needs |
| the JMS implementation jar files; for example, from Apache ActiveMQ. |
| See <a href="get-started.html#libraries_activemq">here</a> for the list of jars provided by ActiveMQ.</p> |
| |
| |
| </div> |
| <div class="section"> |
| <h1 id="adding_users">11.1 Adding Users<a class="sectionlink" href="#adding_users" title="Link to here">¶</a> |
| </h1> |
| |
| <p>The first step is add a <a href="test_plan.html#thread_group">Thread Group</a> |
| element. The Thread Group tells JMeter the number of users you want to simulate, |
| how often the users should send requests, and how many requests they should |
| send.</p> |
| |
| |
| <p>Go ahead and add the ThreadGroup element by first selecting the Test Plan, |
| clicking your right mouse button to get the <span class="menuchoice"><span class="guimenuitem">Add</span></span> menu, and then select |
| <span class="menuchoice"><span class="guimenuitem">Add</span> → <span class="guimenuitem">ThreadGroup</span></span>.</p> |
| |
| |
| <p>You should now see the Thread Group element under Test Plan. If you do not |
| see the element, then "expand" the Test Plan tree by clicking on the |
| Test Plan element.</p> |
| |
| |
| <p>Next, you need to modify the default properties. Select the Thread Group element |
| in the tree, if you have not already selected it. You should now see the Thread |
| Group Control Panel in the right section of the JMeter window (see Figure 11.1 |
| below)</p> |
| |
| |

| Figure 11.1. Thread Group with Default Values"></a> |
| <figcaption> |
| Figure 11.1. Thread Group with Default Values</figcaption> |
| </figure> |
| |
| |
| <p>Start by providing a more descriptive name for our Thread Group. In the name |
| field, enter <span class="code">Subscribers</span>.</p> |
| |
| |
| <p>Next, increase the number of users (called threads) to <span class="code">5</span>.</p> |
| |
| |
| <p>In the next field, the Ramp-Up Period, set the value to <span class="code">0</span> |
| seconds. This property tells JMeter how long to delay between starting each |
| user. For example, if you enter a Ramp-Up Period of 5 seconds, JMeter will |
| finish starting all of your users by the end of the 5 seconds. So, if we have |
| 5 users and a 5 second Ramp-Up Period, then the delay between starting users |
| would be 1 second (5 users / 5 seconds = 1 user per second). If you set the |
| value to 0, JMeter will immediately start all users.</p> |
| |
| |
| <p>Clear the checkbox labeled "<span class="code">Forever</span>", and enter a value of <span class="code">10</span> in the Loop |
| Count field. This property tells JMeter how many times to repeat your test. |
| If you enter a loop count value of <span class="code">0</span>, then JMeter will run your test only |
| once. To have JMeter repeatedly run your Test Plan, select the <span class="code">Forever</span> |
| checkbox.</p> |
| |
| |
| <p>Repeat the process and add another thread group. For the second thread |
| group, enter "<span class="code">Publisher</span>" in the name field, set the number of threads to <span class="code">1</span>, |
| and set the iteration to <span class="code">10</span>. |
| </p> |
| |
| |
| <div class="clear"></div> |
| <div class="note">In most applications, you have to manually accept |
| changes you make in a Control Panel. However, in JMeter, the Control Panel |
| automatically accepts your changes as you make them. If you change the |
| name of an element, the tree will be updated with the new text after you |
| leave the Control Panel (for example, when selecting another tree element).</div> |

| |
| |
| <p>Make sure the required jar files are in JMeter's <span class="code">lib</span> directory. If they are |
| not, shutdown JMeter, copy the jar files over and restart JMeter.</p> |
| |
| |
| <p>Start by adding the sampler <a href="../usermanual/component_reference.html#JMS_Subscriber">JMS Subscriber</a> |
| to the Subscribers element |
| (<span class="menuchoice"><span class="guimenuitem">Add</span> → <span class="guimenuitem">Sampler</span> → <span class="guimenuitem">JMS Subscriber</span></span>). |
| Then, select the JMS Subscriber element in the tree and edit the following properties: |
| |
| <ol> |
| |
| <li>Change the Name field to "<span class="code">Sample Subscriber</span>"</li> |
| |
| <li>If the JMS provider uses the <span class="code">jndi.properties</span> file, check the box</li> |
| |
| <li>Enter the name of the InitialContextFactory class. For example, with ActiveMQ 5.4, the value is "<span class="code">org.apache.activemq.jndi.ActiveMQInitialContextFactory</span>"</li> |
| |
| <li>Enter the provider URL. This is the URL for the JNDI server, if there is one. For example, with ActiveMQ 5.4 on local machine with default port, the value is "<span class="code">tcp://localhost:61616</span>"</li> |
| |
| <li>Enter the name of the connection factory. Please refer to the documentation |
| of the JMS provider for the information. For ActiveMQ, the default is "<span class="code">ConnectionFactory</span>"</li> |
| |
| <li>Enter the name of the message topic. For ActiveMQ Dynamic Topics (create topics dynamically), example value is "<span class="code">dynamicTopics/MyStaticTopic1</span>" |

| <li>If the JMS provider requires authentication, check "<span class="code">required</span>" and enter the |

| |
| <li>Enter <span class="code">10</span> in "<span class="code">Number of samples to aggregate</span>". For performance reasons, the sampler |

| didn't aggregate the messages, JMeter wouldn't be able to keep up.</li> |

| <li>If you want to read the response, check the box</li> |
| |
| <li>There are two client implementations for subscribers. If the JMS provider |
| exhibits zombie threads with one client, try the other.</li> |

| to the Publisher element |
| (<span class="menuchoice"><span class="guimenuitem">Add</span> → <span class="guimenuitem">Sampler</span> → <span class="guimenuitem">JMS Publisher</span></span>). |
