Executing load test of a WCF service using JMeter

Question

I'm trying running load tests using JMeter V2.5.1. The WCF service are published in IIS as WCF-CustomIsolated.

If I follow the instructions especified in the URL http://twenty6-jc.blogspot.com/2011/11/performance-and-loading-testing-wcf.html, the requests are sent by the tool, but I obtain the following error code:

Response code:415
Response Message:Cannot process the message because the content type 'text/xml' was not the expected type 'application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8'.
Cabeceras de respuesta:
HTTP/1.1 415 Cannot process the message because the content type 'text/xml' was not the expected type 'application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8'.
Server: Microsoft-IIS/7.5
X-Powered-By: ASP.NET
Date: 2012年3月08日 13:33:17 GMT
Connection: close
Content-Length: 0
HTTPSampleResult campos:
ContentType: text/xml

The XML message that I have established in the SOAP/XML-RPC textbox is the following:

Try using an HTTP Header Manager to specify the correct header (content type : 'application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8').

• jmgs: If I apply this change, the tool can test the web service successfully! Thank you very much.
