How to create new Listener and use it from JMeter
Hi,
I want to extend JMeter such that I can catch the SampleResults and write
them to a file (in a slightly different format than done by the standard
elements). For that I implemented the SampleListener interface, created a
jar and dropped the jar in the lib/ext directory. However, the question now
is how do I include/register/... this new Listener in my testplan such that
the results can be written?
It has to be run in command line mode so, creating a GUI component to catch
the listener events is not really an option.
http://www.jajakarta.org/jmeter/1.7/en/extending/index.html#listener does
not have the complete instructions and I could not find a working example
so far.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks,
Gero

That website is seriously out of date (and nothing to do with the ASF)
Have you looked at the Extending link on the main JMeter site
http://jmeter.apache.org/ ?

Since the GUI is used to create test plans and configure test
elements, you need to create a minimal GUI.
Otherwise, you will have to edit the JMX file to add the appropriate
entries by hand, which will be hard work.

Have a look at how ResultSaver does it.
That works in non-GUI mode.

Seb,
Thanks for the quick response. I did check that site also. The PDF mainly
focusses on adding the GUI and I managed to do that by adding a subclass
of AbstractVisualizer and I can select that from JMeter GUI. I can then
receive the SampleResults in via the add(SampleResult sr) method and
intended to use a ResultCollector (slightly modified) to store the results.
However, when adding (modified) SampleResults to the
getModel().sampleOccurred() method nothing gets stored.
How can I hook into the ResourceCollector to store the (modified)
SampleResults to a file that I specified?
Regards,
Gero
