GetApplicationMetadata() stress test safety issue

This sample code is an attempt to show that the native Adobe ColdFusion function GetApplicationMetadata() is not thread safe under a stress test.

Run app using CommandBox

Clone the repo into a new folder on your system, cd into it and type start. The CommandBox app starts at http://127.0.0.1:52831.

jMeter

You will need version 3.1 of jMeter. I use the Custom Threads Plugin - to install it you need to first have the jMeter Plugins Manager installed (https://jmeter-plugins.org/wiki/PluginsManager/), and then select it from the list of available plugins from your Options > Plugins Manager menu. Once you have the plugin installed, restart your jMeter and open file mappings_stress_test.jmx. You can edit the number of threads to run through the jp@gc - Ultimate Thread Group.

See the issue

• Open the file http://127.0.0.1:52831/dump.html in your browser.
• Run the jMeter test.
• Refresh the browser periodically, as the test is running, to see the errors. Each error line is written when the mapping /test5 is not found, and lists the mappings at that moment in time.

The issue to take away here, is that there should not be any errors written out as the test is running.

ACF10, ACF11, ACF2016

CommandBox is set to run under ACF11. Change the server.json file to have things run under version 10 or 2016 - issue persists in all versions.
