JPOS-EE / ClientSimulator and GenericPackager

[JP]

Hi All,

I'm trying to build a simple client test case based on the
clientsumilator module using VAPChannel and GenericPackager.

A recent post on this list (How to test Visa using jOS-EE May 12) -
suggested "to use base1.xml in the channel - see
10_clientsimulator_channel.xml".

However I'm not sure of the correct syntax to use. Based on the
GenericPackager constructor I feel I should be able to define
10_clientsimulator_channel.xml as

<?xml version="1.0" ?>

<channel-adaptor name='clientsimulator-adaptor'
class="org.jpos.q2.iso.ChannelAdaptor" logger="Q2">
<channel class="org.jpos.iso.channel.VAPChannel" logger="Q2"
packager="org.jpos.iso.packager.GenericPackager('/base1.xml')">

<property name="host" value="127.0.0.1" />
<property name="port" value="10000" />
</channel>
<in>clientsimulator-send</in>
<out>clientsimulator-receive</out>
<reconnect-delay>10000</reconnect-delay>
</channel-adaptor>

However this results in errors when executed (The unmodified
clientsimulator example build works fine).
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Many Thanks in advance

JP

You want to use something like this:

<channel-adaptor name='clientsimulator-adaptor'
class="org.jpos.q2.iso.ChannelAdaptor" logger="Q2">
<channel class="org.jpos.iso.channel.VAPChannel"
logger="Q2" packager="org.jpos.iso.packager.GenericPackager">

<property name="host" value="127.0.0.1"/>
<property name="port" value="10000" />

<property name="packager-config" value="cfg/base1.xml" />

</channel>
<in>clientsimulator-send</in>
<out>clientsimulator-receive</out>
<reconnect-delay>10000</reconnect-delay>
</channel-adaptor>

The 'packager-config' property is used by GenericPackager in order to
get its configuration.

Whoa - thanks for the speedy response - but (there always a but ;-) I
now get

Do you have a build/cfg directory with 'base1.xml' file in there?
What about genericpackager.dtd ?

[JP]

Opps - sorry!

yes I had the base1.xml - but forgot the dtd

I also should have read the error message a bit more closely before
posting!
Just a bit eager I guess.

Thanks for your help - great work
