ADF : Automated testing lessons learned

Ok needed to help with some performance testing of our ADF apps login process and struggled a bit with some of the stuff so here are my findings:

Firefox and Tamper Data: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tamper-data/

So so handy for catching all your post and get parameters cookies and headers. A must for automated testing to see what is going on in your app. More of a diagnostic tool.

JMeter:  http://jmeter.apache.org/
Really really cool once I had found Chris Muirs post on setting up jmeter for ADF. (link below).
You can make complicated test cases here very easily and run them any number of times in the ide.
Very handy for doing volume testing.

BadBoy: http://www.badboy.com.au/
If you want something that will record what you are doing/ click in your browser and export your scripts to JMeter for automated testing this is the tool for you.

Selenium:http://seleniumhq.org/
Holy moly this is so easy to use and test with - just fire up firefox start the selenium ide add on and start recording - everything just WORKS. You can export this to junit tests and watch as all the magic happens. Really really cool.


Also dont try anything fancy with the login just use j_username and j_password posting to j_security_check. See attached script. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/63575405/Script.jmx

http://one-size-doesnt-fit-all.blogspot.com/2010/04/configuring-apache-jmeter-specifically.html

I like the selenium using unit tests for most of my stuff but I find jmeter incredibly handy for quick perfomance testing.

MANIFEST.MF merge JDeveloper for an executable jar

Goto your project > properties. Then click on deployment in the menu. Edit or add a jar deployment profile. Fill in the details under jar options (select Include manifest and give it a main class name) Also remember that the merge functionality only works with a BLANK line at the end of the merge file. REALLY this caught me. My merge file contents: Class-Path: commons-codec-1.3.jar [...empty line here CRLF...]

JBO-25013: TooManyObjectsException

oracle.jbo.TooManyObjectsException: JBO-25013: Too many objects match the primary key oracle.jbo.Key[Key null ]. Ok so for you it may be trying to insert a duplicate record this should explain your problem (also check trigger they could be the cause.) NOTE: You can also try to create a new duplicate EO if you have a page with two VO's using the same EO. This could sort your problems. For me I needed to add a launch listener on my LOV and clear the cache of my vo. LOV <af:inputListOfValues id="NameId" popupTitle="#{bindings.Name.hints.label}" value="#{bindings.RolName1.inputValue}" label="#{bindings.RolName1.hints.label}" model="#{bindings.RolName1.listOfValuesModel}" required="#{bindings.RolName1.hints.mandatory}" columns="#{bindings.RolName1.hints.displayWidth}" shortDesc="#{bindings.RolName1.hints.tooltip}" launchPopupListener="#{backingBeanScope.backingBean.launchPop...

ADF Encountered deferred syntax #{ in template text.

OracleJSP error: oracle.jsp.parse.JspParseException:  Error: Encountered deferred syntax #{ in template text.  If intended as a literal, escape it or set directive  deferredSyntaxAllowedAsLiteral This normally happens when you have some tag lib dependancy problems but this was  not the case for me... My problem: For some reason my model project had web stuff in it(public html etc)  so I had to remove the public html stuff from my project and manually edit the Model.jpr project file and remove the tag lib entries at the bottom o the file. Go figure.
