Create and execute Runnable JAR file for Java Project from command Prompt/Batch file

we will discuss steps to create an executable JAR file from a java project. This can be useful for our selenium Project. We are using Eclipse IDE for illustrating the example.

Prerequisite – It is assumed a java project is created.

Steps to create an executable jar file:

Define the Run Configuration for execution

1. Navigate to Run>Run Configuration for the Project.

2. Select Java Application and click on New launch configuration

3. Provide the name to configuration and provide the main lass name to run.

4. You can also define default argument for the execution.

5. Save the configuration

Creating run configuration

Export the Project as executable Jar file

1. Click on Project>Export

2. Select export destination as Java>Runnable JAR files

Exporting as runnable JAR file

3. Select Run Configuration as one defined in step A.

Providing export location and launch configuration

4. Provide export destination

5. Click on finish

Run the executable JAR file

Through command prompt.

1. Open command prompt

2. Navigate to folder in which JAR file is saved.

3. Run the following command java -jar driverJAR.jar where driverJAR.jar is the name of JAR file

Double clicking on a batch file

1. Create a new text file in the same location as the JAR file.

2. Rename the file as test.bat, thus creating a batch file.

3. Add following content in the bat file

@echo "this is for testing the jar file"

java -jar testingJAR.jar

pause

4. Save the file.

5. Double click the file, it will run the jar file

Performance Testing in the Cloud with JMeter & AWS

JMeter is a wonderful tool to stress test your website and your application architecture , however if you are trying to simulate many users (>1000) one JMeter instance (=pc) will not be sufficient. You will have to set up a JMeter cluster with multiple machines. JMeter is capable or running distributed tests , but it comes with limitations. Since most of us don’t have multiple servers laying around somewhere, we usually go to cloud service providers like AWS , spin up a couple of EC2 instances and turn them off whenever we’re done. Here is the problem, JMeter uses Java RMI (Remote Method Invocation) to communicate to its slaves, but these connections require all machines to be on the same subnet and this is not feasible with EC2 instances. Below, I explain how to get around this problem using a 3 node configuration in AWS to execute tests. I assume that you have a written the test already and have the .jmx file r...

JMeter Exceeded Maximum Number of Redirects Error Solution

While running performance test, JMeter allows maximum 5 redirects by default. However, if your system demands more than 5 redirects, it may result in JMeter exceeded maximum number of redirects error. In this post, we have listed down steps to overcome this error. Actual error in JMeter: Response code: “Non HTTP response code: java.io.IOException” Response message: “Non HTTP response message: Exceeded maximum number of redirects: 5” This error is noticed because JMeter allows maximum 5 redirects by default and your system may be using more than 5 redirects. You need to increase this count to more than 5 in jmeter.properties file. Follow below steps to achieve this. Navigate to /bin directory of your JMeter installation. Locate jmeter.properties file and open it in any editor. Search for “httpsampler.max_redirects” property in opened file. Uncomment the above property by removing # before it. Change to value to more than 5 Eg. 20. Save the file and restart JMet...

SSO with SAML login scenario in JMeter

SAML(Security Assertion Markup Language) is increasingly being used to perform single sign-on(SSO) operations. As WikiPedia puts it, SAML is an XML-based open standard data format for exchanging authentication and authorization data between parties, in particular, between an identity provider and a service provider. With the rise in use of SAML in web applications, we may need to handle this in JMeter. This step-by-step tutorial shows SAML JMeter scenario to perform login operation. First request from JMeter is a GET request to fetch Login page. We need to fetch two values ‘SAMLRequest’ and ‘RelayState’ from the Login page response data. We can do this by using Regular Expression Extractor . These two values need to be sent in POST request to service provider. Refer below image to see how to do this. We will get an HTML login page as a response to the request sent in 1st step. We need to fetch values of some hidden elements to pass it in the next request. We...
