JMeter itself is the standard repository. Several of the components originally come from users who contributed their special needs code to Apache. > 2) Is there any built-in way to store a collection/list/array of extracted > data?

There is a place to store more generic Object values, but access to them requires custom code. Ie, you write a custom component that stores a list, you write a custom component that uses that list. -Mike > Thanks. > -Charlie --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
