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

You can use any mechanism to send HTTP requests to the Web Service Multithread 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 two custom components named “Source Feed 1“ and “Source Feed 2“

  2. Copy the script below into each of the component Translator to send an HTTP GET Request to the Web Service Multithread component.

Code Block

function main(Data)
  net.http.get{url="http://127.0.0.1:7778"} 
end

titleSTEP 4: Start all three the components and view the logs of the Web Service Multithread Worker

First start your Web Service Multithread and Web Service Multithread Worker components. Then use Bulk Actions to start the two Source Feed components at the same time.

Go to the logs of the Web Service Multithread Worker component and view the logged GET requests. Notice the ifw_conn_id value added set in the header of the request. This value is used to identify the specific connection or session associated with the request. You should see different connection ids to indicate multiple connection threads being used by your worker.
