JMeter JMS Point to Point not returning correct response

Question

JMeter Version: 2.10 . ActiveMQ 5.9

I have a point to point JMeter script that successfully places a message on a queue. This messaged is then consumed, transformed and placed on a different queue. When I test just a request method (from jmeter), the message is successfully submitted, transformed and returned to the out queue, however when I configure JMeter to consume the response on the out queue, it shows the original request message payload as the response.

Here is my JMeter script details:

1. JMS Resources

   • QueueuConnectionFactory: ConnectionFactory
   • JNDI Name Request Queue: Q.REQ
   • JNDI Name Reply Queue: Q.RPL

2. Message Properties

   • Communication Style: Request Response
   • Use alternate fields for message correlation: Use Request Message ID (ticked)
   • Content: (XML Payload)

3. JNDI Properties

   • InitialContextFactory: org.apache.activemq.jndi.ActiveMQInitialContextFactory
   • queue.Q.REQ: message.in
   • queue.Q.RPL: message.out
   • java.naming.security.principal: admin
   • java.naming.security.credentials: admin

4. Properties

   • Provider URL: tcp://localhost:61616

I've also tried a few different combinations such as removing the reply queue and specifying a JMSReplyTo as well as manually specifying a JMSCorrelationID. If someone could point me in the right direction or even provide a working jmeter proj example, it would be much appreciated. I also used this guide: http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/build-jms-point-to-point-test-plan.html to help build my test.

Answer 1

Having spoke to a few people, this is a known issue and I haven't found a suitable workaround for this issue right now.

Currently I have had to use the JMeter JMS Pub/Sub Samplers to get this to work properly. If I hear back from the user group I will update this answer accordingly.

It looks like that you're missing Q.REQ and Q.RPL definition in JNDI Properties section. They should go along with InitialContextFactory bit.

See Building a JMS Testing Plan - Apache JMeter guide for more details.
