Service Virtualization

Hello,

I am new to CA LISA virtualization. I am trying to virtualize JSON message as part of my first assignment.

I have request and response pair of JSON message. While creating VSM, I have added listening port in the second step after mentioning HTTP as Transport protocal.

Do I need to mention the Target host and port number by selecting Gateway?............If Yes, Do I need live\Actual URL to complete this step?

Is there anyway to build VSM with out having live URL?

Aldin,

It is necessary to provide something in those to fields but it doesn't need to be live host and port.

Target host and Target port values goes in "Virtual HTTPS Live Invocation" step within VSM, just in case if you want to invoke LIVE service instead of VS.

If you do not have any appetite to invoke "Virtual HTTPS Live Invocation" step to access LIVE service, then you can mention "localhost" in "Target host" and same value as of listening port to "Target port" fields respectively or any other port no.

Hi Salman,

Thanks for your suggestion. I have done all the steps mentioned. After creating VSM, I see the operation Name as "<Unknown-op>" in transaction Tab. Any idea why its happening like this?

Aldin,

Well that suggests your request JSON file doesn't contains header information which generally determines the operation name resource location and content types, content length, host etc...

For Example:

GET /jsonExample/jsonServices/retrieve HTTP/1.1

Accept: application/json

Content-Type: application/json

User-Agent: Java/1.7.0_45

Host: localhost:8080

Connection: keep-alive

Content-Length: 59

{json body}

For sake of your understanding try to paste any one line from below on top of your req json file and create VSI from Req/Res pairs again and see the difference.

GET /jsonExample/jsonServices/retrieve HTTP/1.1

or

GET / HTTP/1.1

Hi Salman,

I am trying to create a VS using Json RR pair but facing nullpointerException error:

i have added all required headers in request side as suggested in your post, still getting above error
any suggestion.

If i remove headers like GET, PUT POST, i am getting unknown_operation

Hi Sabir,

Can you paste the file name and content of the file?

HI,

PFB contents and file name of RR pair

Thank you Prema,

It works for me
i am wondering how it works, because i too add required headers earlier and then kept GET resource base path itself.

Might be my file got corrupt.
Thanks for your quick response
