That's interesting. The Java Sampler is not a particularly mature implementation. What it should do for you is create the SampleResult object for you and set the SamplerData (which is the JavaSampler class you are "plugging into").
However, you would likely be better off implementing your component as a full Sampler in it's own right. You would extend AbstractSampler rather than AbstractJavaClient (or whatever it is). Not significantly harder to do, but it would require throwing together a little GUI class (extending AbstractSamplerGui), putting in some text fields or whatever so you could configure it. For now, I'd recommend creating a dummy Sampler class to put in the SampleResult (it could just be new HTTPSampler() - whatever, I don't think you care too much what it is for now). -Mike On 6 Mar 2003 at 11:18, Alistair Hopkins wrote: > Hi, > > I'm using Jmeter 1.8.1 and jdk 1.4 to do some interface testing on a legacy > application which uses nasty text over tcp sockets for interprocess comms. > > I've implemented a SocketSampler which extends JavaSamplerClient and will > write a command (as specified in the UI) to the socket, then return the > response line as the SamplerResult response data: > > long start = System.currentTimeMillis(); > byte[] response = makeRequest(request); //does the nasty socket thing > long finish = System.currentTimeMillis(); > SampleResult result = new SampleResult(); > result.setDataType(SampleResult.TEXT); > result.setResponseData(response); > result.setTime(finish - start); > > The only problem is that when I try to use the AssertionVisualizer I get a > null pointer exception at AssertionVisualilzer:116 and the test run never > exits.
