[Axis2] Using Local transport for test cases
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hi,
Some time back we were very much concerned about the build time of
Axis2. Yesterday I built Axis2 in a very high end machine with lot of
memory (hmm, not sure multi-processors helped for the tests, but we do
fork for junit tests). It took 29 minutes for the complete build :(
IIRC, Glen once suggested, during a hackathon, to use local transport
for some of the tests so that we can cut down http transport costs. Any
volunteer to have a look on this? I might be able to help a bit with my
limited time here.
Also, what can I do to parallelize running junit tests? Say if I want to
run tests in a particular module in parallel to one another to improve
the running time.
Thanks,
Chinthaka

Re: [Axis2] Using Local transport for test cases

I had a little play with the LocalTestCase class Glen committed the
other day but the local transport doesn't seem to work as expected,
specifically, if the 'server' throws an exception, the client code
receives an exception regardless of the setting of
isExceptionToBeThrownOnSOAPFault on the client Options object. Does
anyone know if this is by design, and if not, could it be fixed or at
least made optional (otherwise it won't be possible to use the local
transport for any tests)?

A couple of things come to mind here.
1) Do we seriously need to be building the 2+Meg eBay WSDL like *four*
times? As we move over to m2, we won't build the "enterprise" stuff
unless the profile is used, which will help. But even when doing the
enterprise tests, why are we doing multiple builds over the file? It's
good to test large files, so let's build it once, but can't we come up
with leaner, more focused test cases?
2) Has anyone done a perf test of the codegen path to see if there's any
low-hanging fruit we might grab in order to speed things up a little?
Thanks,
--Glen

I quite like the idea of doing some of the tests using the local
transport, not least because it should reduce the problems we have
with continuum and bound ports. I'd vote for a separate module to put
bits like that in. That would also let the test phase of related
projects use it easily without cluttering kernel.
Having said that, I'll warn that my guess is that the majority of time
is still spent doing codegen in the *-codegen and integration modules.

Funny you should mention this. :) I have a "LocalTestCase" utility
class on my machine, which sets up a no-filesystem AxisConfiguration and
then makes it very easy to deploy services and obtain initialized
clients. Then you extend that with test cases - I've got a working one
for SOAP sessions, for instance.
I've got a couple of issues with it at the moment:
First, where to put it? I'd like it to be usable for unit testing, so I
don't quite want to put it in the integration module - I was thinking
kernel, but then we also want it to be usable by other modules. Should
we have some kind of a test-utils module (this has come up before) which
gets depended upon by the test phases of the other modules?
Second, I'd like to be able to deploy modules (in particular addressing)
into the server without relying on a filesystem repository. I *think*
there is a way to do this using the classpath, but I haven't yet gone
through and made it work so we can pick up the built "addressing.mar"
from the maven repository. Anyone got this working?
Once we resolve the first issue, I'll check this in so others can take a
look and work on it. Then we can start to migrate some of our
HTTP-based tests over.
Thanks,
--Glen
