Oracle AQ load test with Gatling - oracle

Question

I want to set up a Gatling testcase to put messages on a Oracle AQ. But I have no idea how to set up the the following:
val jmsConfig = jms
.connectionFactoryName(???)
.url("tcp://localhost:10002")
.credentials("user", "secret")
.contextFactory(???)
.listenerCount(1)
.usePersistentDeliveryMode
What is the connection factory name and what is the context factory?

Answer 1

I managed to get it working using the oracle.jms.AQjmsInitialContextFactory. The above mentioned oracle.jms.AQjmsFactory is not an InitialContextFactory so that wont work.
Make sure to add at least version 11+ of the Oracle AQ dependencies for the AQjmsInitialContextFactory to be found.
You database user should of-course have the correct privileges to be able to insert messages into the queue (table).
Gatling expects your to have request-reply semantics, so it will wait for a reply to be received. I actually wanted to abort waiting for a reply after a specified period, but I have no clue how to do that. So if anyone know how to.. please tell me :-)
MySimulation.scala
val jmsConfig = jms
.connectionFactoryName("ConnectionFactory") // MUST!!!! be called ConnectionFactory, the AQjmsFactory expects this naming convention!
.url("jdbc:oracle:thin:#host:1521:SID")
.credentials("user", "password")
.contextFactory("oracle.jms.AQjmsInitialContextFactory")
.listenerCount(1)
.usePersistentDeliveryMode
// TODO check how to set a timeout on the reply
val jmsScenario = scenario("JMS DSL test")
.repeat(1) {
exec(
jms("req reply testing")
.reqreply
.queue("AQ_ADMIN.QUEUE_NAME")
.textMessage("some message")
.check(simpleCheck(checkBodyTextCorrect))
)
}
def checkBodyTextCorrect(m: Message) = {
// this assumes that the service just does an "uppercase" transform on the text
m match {
case tm: TextMessage => tm.getText == "text that should be in the reply message"
case _ => false
}
}
setUp(jmsScenario.inject(atOnceUsers(1)).protocols(jmsConfig));
jndi.properties
I had to add the jndi.properties to the classpath:
db_url=jdbc:oracle:thin:#host:1521:SID
pom.xml

"contextFactory" is the class name of your ContextFactory. Doc seems to state it's "oracle.jms.AQjmsFactory".
"connectionFactoryName" is the key used for the JNDI look-up. Doc again seems to state it's "cn=OracleDBConnections".
