Requirements

Build the protobuf-extension.jar

You will need to build a Protobuf extension jar to use the Protobuf extension. To do so:

  1. Download the Protocol Buffer Compiler (protoc) mentioned in Requirements.
  2. Run the following command with the appropriate arguments:
    Code Block
    java -jar com.parasoft.soavirt.messages.protobuf.jar <ARGUMENTS>

The example below (for Windows) shows the command with all arguments. This will generate the jar (protobuf-extension.jar) which can then be added to SOAtest:

Code Block
java -jar com.parasoft.soavirt.messages.protobuf-<VERSION>.jar -protoc C:\protoc-<VERSION>-win64\bin\protoc.exe -includes -protoDir C:\<PATH_TO_PROTO_FILES> -logLevel 4

For more information about the Protobuf jar, run:

One of the benefits of using the Protobuf extension is the ability to use it in conjunction with the gRPC Transport in order to send messages in one format and receive messages in another format.
