Description
Proposal
It would be great if the serveEventListeners can be extended to include an ordering mechanism. eg. using the request below
{
"request": {
"url": "/go"
},
"response": {
"status": 200,
"delayDistribution": {
"type": "uniform",
"lower": 250,
"upper": 500
},
"headers": {
"Content-Type": "text/xml;charset=UTF-8"
},
"transformers": ["response-template"]
},
"serveEventListeners": [
{
"name": "webhook",
"sequence":"1",
"parameters": {
"method": "POST",
"url": "http://localhost:8081/v1",
"headers": {
"Content-Type": "application/json"
},
"delay": {
"type": "fixed",
"milliseconds": 5000
},
"body": "PostedToV1"
}
},
{
"name": "webhook",
"sequence":"2"
"parameters": {
"method": "POST",
"url": "http://localhost:8081/v2",
"headers": {
"Content-Type": "application/json"
},
"delay": {
"type": "fixed",
"milliseconds": 5000
},
"body": "PostedToV2"
}
}
]
},
the template above does indeed post to /v1 and /v2, however there doesnt seem to be a way to specify ordering, a way to enforce the calling of v1 first, then v2, either with a sequence attribute, or the likes. In my case, there is a dependancy that requires /v1 to get hit first, and then /v2. As it currently stands, it seems the either v1 or v2 will get hit at random. Below is from posting twice , back to back.

Research direction
Start at the serveEventListeners handling described in the issue and reproduce the configuration with two POST targets. Determine how listener dispatch currently chooses between /v1 and /v2 and how ordering should be represented. Done means repeated requests consistently call /v1 before /v2, with coverage for the ordering behavior.
