如何处理具有 QAF Webservice 正文的 REST API 请求的 GET 请求

Question

I am using QAF Webservice support for API automation. I have a case where a GET request has a body present. If I pass the request as either using properties file or xml file, on executing I am getting 404 not found response. If the GET request does not have a body present, it works fine in that scenario without any issues. But not with GET request having a body. Upon debugging, found that jersey client API at the end changes the request from GET to POST if a GET request has a body. Please let me know on how to handle this scenario using QAF WebService.

Thanks,

You can use apache HttpClient that will allow to have body with get request. In order to use apache HttpClient, you need to provide implementation of RestClientFactory and register using property rest.client.impl .

Here is the sample code from the qaf users group.

package qaf.example.tests;

import org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager;

import com.qmetry.qaf.automation.ws.rest.RestClientFactory;
import com.sun.jersey.api.client.Client;
import com.sun.jersey.api.client.ClientHandler;
import com.sun.jersey.api.client.config.ClientConfig;
import com.sun.jersey.client.apache.ApacheHttpClient;
import com.sun.jersey.client.apache.ApacheHttpClientHandler;
import com.sun.jersey.client.apache.config.DefaultApacheHttpClientConfig;

/**

 */
public class ApacheClientProvider extends RestClientFactory {

    @Override
    protected Client createClient() {
        MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager connectionManager = new MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager();
        connectionManager.getParams().setConnectionTimeout(5000);
        connectionManager.getParams().setSoTimeout(1000);
        connectionManager.getParams().setDefaultMaxConnectionsPerHost(10);
        HttpClient httpClient = new HttpClient(connectionManager);
        ApacheHttpClientHandler clientHandler = new ApacheHttpClientHandler(httpClient);
        ClientHandler root = new ApacheHttpClient(clientHandler );
        ClientConfig config = new DefaultApacheHttpClientConfig();
        Client client = new Client(root, config);
        return client;
    }

}

In order to use it, register your class using rest.client.impl property, in above case:

rest.client.impl=qaf.example.tests.ApacheClientProvider
