A simple JMS producer tool that can be used for connectivity/configuration verification, replaying traffic, or poor man's load testing.

##about

A simple standalone JMS producer tool that can be used for connectivity/configuration verification, replaying traffic, or poor man's load testing. For the message body, choose between

• a simple default test message
• a custom template, and a CSV with variables
• files in a configured directory

Unit testing is powered by ActiveMQ's embedded broker.

##usage

1. clone the repository: git clone [email protected]:mikerodonnell/jms_batch_publisher.git
2. edit src/main/resources/connection.properties with your JMS broker connection information.
3. if using files for the message body, place them in src/main/resources/message/. one message will be published for each file.
4. if using a template for the message body, edit src/main/resources/template/template and src/main/resources/template/inputs.csv as desired. see example in src/main/resources/template/inputs.csv.
5. mvn clean install
6. mvn exec:java
7. follow the console prompts to select message body and delay between each messages. if using default test messages, you'll be prompted for a message count.
