This sounds very useful. Did you already test this? It sounds like something I need too!
I'm trying to dynamically create HTTP request variables by reading a text file which contain all the parameters (name and value pairs). Any ideas on how I can do this? Will I have to change the way JMeter processes the XML file? -----Original Message----- From: Kate Rosenbloom [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, April 08, 2002 8:01 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Using variables in HTTP and JDBC requests I recently used JMeter to test a servlet, where I needed to have each test thread generate a unique test sample (the first thread would create "Test Customer 1", and the second thread would create "Test Customer 2", etc.). Also, I needed this unique number to be used in both the web requests (where the data record was created), and in JDBC requests that I used to clean up the database after testing. To do this, I implemented a Modifier, called ThreadNumberModifier. It will substitute in the numeric ID of the currently executing thread anywhere it sees the text tag $$JMETER-THREAD$$ in any HTTP request (parameters or path) or JDBC request (the query) it processes. The prefix $$JMETER- is handled by a superclass of ThreadNumberModifier, so it would be easy to add other variable-substituting modifiers, such as for random numbers, email addressses from a list, etc. (I think I've seen requests for these in this mailing list). If other folks think this would be generally useful, let me know, and I will submit the code to the developers list for consideration. Kate Rosenbloom RapidMoney Corp.
