setLastRpcReply method fails to parse data

[ZLin98]

I have a question asking how to perform rpc over multiple sessions when connecting to netconf via juniper netconf client 2.1.1.7.

At present, there is a problem that multiple RPCS fail to parse data through the default netconf session. It is found that an rpc-reply contains multiple xml data. The setLastRpcReply method fails to parse data. Such as this (net.juniper.netconf.Net confException: Invalid < RPC reply - > message from server: < RPC - reply XMLNS = "urn: ietf: params: XML: ns: netconf: base: 1.0..." )

I am not sure I understand what you are saying.
setLastRpcReply sets the value of this in the session. If you have different sessions, each one would have a unique session with their own lastRpcReply property.

https://github.com/Juniper/netconf-java/blob/master/src/main/java/net/juniper/netconf/NetconfSession.java#L72

Maybe if I had more info on how you created the session and used it, I would understand the issue.

will be submitting PR today that includes fix and test case

The original parsing problem here appears to be addressed by the reply-framing fixes: the client now reads one NETCONF reply at a time and preserves unread bytes for the next RPC instead of concatenating multiple replies into one parse.

That said, this should not be interpreted as support for concurrent parallel RPCs over a single NetconfSession. The safe model remains one active RPC at a time per session; use separate NETCONF sessions if you need concurrency.
