The Web Service Multithreaded component is designed to work with the Web Service Multithreaded Worker to enable parallel processing of requests. These components have two distinct roles:

  • Web Service Multithreaded is the dispatcher component which listens for requests and sends it to the worker component for parallel processing using component.call.

  • Web Service Multithread Worker component handles the actual processing of the data dispatched by the Web Service Multithreaded component.

titleSTEP 3: Setup a test source data feed to send requests to the Web Service Multithreaded component

You can use any mechanism to send HTTP requests to the Web Service Multithreaded component configured endpoint - default is http://localhost:7778/. If your Iguana instance is running remotely you can use the public IP address.

If you want to use Iguana as the test source system to create a data feed, you can use the following simple setup:

  1. Create a custom component named “Source Feed“

  2. Copy the script below into the Translator:

Code Block
languagelua
function main(Data)
   for i=1, 10 do 
      net.http.get{url="http://127.0.0.1:7778"}
   end 
end

This script will simply loop 10 times, each time sending a HTTP GET request to the Web Service Multithreaded component.
