Hi,
Can you describe what you're planning more completely? You say you
want to parse XML results sent back from the server - you can do that in a
Post-Processor, an Assertion, or a Listener. The question is, what do you
want to do with the data after parsing it? Use it in subsequent requests?
Then you'd probably want to use a Post-Processor to parse the results and
store values in JMeter's context.
If you want to display info to the user based on this, you'd want to write a new
visualizer. If you want to verify something about the response, you could
extend the already existing XML Assertion (which simply verifies the response
XML is valid XML).
If you want to use it to generate new requests, then that is a problem,
because JMeter doesn't currently have a means of dynamically creating new
requests (dynamically modifying, yes, creating, no).

unreasonable to use regular expressions to get these values...especially
since the number of fields will change. I believe it would be ideal if I could
write a function or even a sampler to do this. The reason I'm thinking a
sampler would be better is because there are no functions that currently send
requests (that I've seen). I'm thinking either way would be possible, but I
guess I'm looking for an answer of how I should do this that is in line with how
JMeter is intended to be used.
