Hi. I had embarked on a project to add some components into JMeter. I created a new Generative Controller that executes telnet commands over (a) persistent session(s). The general idea is that you can run a test (ftp, http, etc) and use the telnet commands to do things such as bounce server processes, run shell scripts, swap config files, etc. This way, a multitude of tests, with timing/iterative dependencies between them, can be controlled from the JMeter console.
I've kind of had to put this work aside, but would like to finish it, as well as contribute it to the JMeter group. Just to get things going, I built on top of another open source project to handle the telnet protocol. I think it's ultimately better to recode the telnet protocol (since the classes I used are biased for traditional telnet usage). I have no idea what the legality of including this test code in a submission would be... The current status is that it basically works. I have a "pipe" sort of thing to handle the terminal output on the telnet session, which I haven't fully tested. I haven't written visualizers to handle the pipe, but it works when dumping the pipe to the console. I have yet to get it to load test-plans with this plug-in properly (even though I think I subclassed everything as the documentation said to). Anyway, any advice on how I should proceed (I've never contributed to Apache before) or suggestions are welcome. Thanks a lot. --Tim O'Connor P.S. - I think porting JMeter onto the Avalon architecture is a great idea. -- _______________________________________________ Sign-up for your own FREE Personalized E-mail at Mail.com http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup Win the Ultimate Hawaiian Experience from Travelocity. http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;4018363;6991039;n?http://svc.travelocity.com/promos/winhawaii/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
