TestBean and Objects
Hi,
We have been using Bean Shell for testing some protocols that are not part
of the standard samplers.
I would like to make this a little more user friendly so the developers can
play around on there own without having to learn our API calls etc
It looks like the easiest way to do this is via a TestBean sampler which is
reasonably straight forward to setup
Even for a Java noob like me :)
With the Bean Shell sampler we can call our API and then do
var.put/getObject to keep the object alive across calls. Is there an
equivalent way to do this from within the TestBean sampler?
1)
Thanx in advance
R

Hi,
Thanx Again.
I took the plunge and made our own custom sampler. For anyone else with low
Java skills who wants to do this I found the Test Sampler a perfect place to
start from. Its simple and with lots of copy and paste, easy to start making
changes to it.
Cheers
R

It is probably not all that difficult to add text area support.
Probably easiest to start with the classes that support TestBean plain
text input, and create new classes that use TextArea instead.

Hello again! :)
So this is all working very nicely now and it did not take much time at all
to set-up.
The only issue I have left is getting the TestBean to show a TextArea for
one of the parameters. This parameter can be any XML message (which can be
very long) with some of the values being variables to be taken from Jmeter
logic.
The ideas I have had to solve it are:
1) Build a new GUI sampler (probably a bit over my current java skills.... )
2) Get the API to look at a flat file for the info it should read. But in
this file have the xml statments with some "token" which I can get the user
to put into the TestBean variable as "Token1,${value1},Token2,${Value2},
etc...
But if there is a way to get the TestBean sampler to show a textarea it
would make things a lot easier....

Re: TestBean and Objects
Posted by sebb <se...@gmail.com>.
One way round this would be to define some utility methods in the
appropriate .bshrc file. The code in the sampler could then be
simplified.
If you don't have too many variables, these can be passed in as
parameters to the BeanShell script, which could then be stored in a
file.
So you would just need to tell users what parameters to use, and the
bsh file name.
==
But I agree that creating a sampler based on the TestBean class would be neater.
Try looking at some of the examples to see how it works.
The package
org.apache.jmeter.examples.testbeans.example2
has a sampler with resources.
You can use the following code to get access the variables for the thread:
JMeterContext jmctx = JMeterContextService.getContext();
JMeterVariables vars = jmctx.getVariables();
