send restful request by Jmeter

Question

I have a restful request and I need to send it to a webservice using Jmeter. here is my reuest:

{"type":"CustomerProfileReqModel","messageCode":"GetCustRq","messageVersion":"V1.0","language":"en-gb","recieverCode":"newone","customerModel":{"userName":"load24","password":"P@ssw0rd","categoryCode":"NORM"},"uiCacheVersion":"3e096b72-ed40-4f8a-aad3-9ed52a4aa8ba"}

And here is what I created in JMeter:

Thread Group SOAP/XML-RPC Request URL: http://localhost:9000/MyFawryWeb/rest/MFServlet/service

When I run I got the below error:

org.apache.commons.httpclient.NoHttpResponseException: The server 11.92.0.91 failed to respond at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodBase.readStatusLine(HttpMethodBase.java:1976) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodBase.readResponse(HttpMethodBase.java:1735) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodBase.execute(HttpMethodBase.java:1098) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodDirector.executeWithRetry(HttpMethodDirector.java:398) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodDirector.executeMethod(HttpMethodDirector.java:171) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient.executeMethod(HttpClient.java:397) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient.executeMethod(HttpClient.java:323) at org.apache.jmeter.protocol.http.sampler.SoapSampler.sample(SoapSampler.java:271) at org.apache.jmeter.protocol.http.sampler.HTTPSamplerBase.sample(HTTPSamplerBase.java:1088) at org.apache.jmeter.protocol.http.sampler.HTTPSamplerBase.sample(HTTPSamplerBase.java:1077) at org.apache.jmeter.threa ds.JMeterThread.process_sampler(JMeterThread.java:428) at org.apache.jmeter.threads.JMeterThread.run(JMeterThread.java:256) at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)

1. You need to use HTTP Request Sampler for sending REST requests, the JSON payload needs to go into "Body Data" tab like:

   

2. I believe you should also be adding a HTTP Header Manager and configure it to send Content-Type header with the value of application/json
3. Add View Results Tree listener to inspect request and response details and run your request (don't forget to remove it when it comes to running load test with increased number of users)
