functional testing a JMS message queue with JMeter

Question

I've got a REST service that in response to a request, posts a message on a JMS queue. All of the main http functional testing is done using JMeter, so I was wondering if anyone has successfully pulled a JMS message off an existing queue in JMeter?

Answer 1

JMeter will do no such thing, but a class that you write to extend MessageListener, register with the queue, and have JMeter instantiate in a JUnit test certainly can. I'd recommend that you keep the consuming and testing separate. Write that MessageListener, get it working, and then figure out how to wire it into JMeter.

Answer 2

may be a little late but this may help...
