Thanks Ian
just to clarify - are you referring to ExampleSampler.java and
ExampleSamplerGui.java or JavaRequest?

It takes a few minutes to do but I would suggest creating a Java sampler to
act as a 'gateway' (in the non technical sense) to Java functionality.
You can pass parameters into the sampler via the normal sampler parameter
interface and use a regular expression parser to get the result back into
JMeter variables. The sampler can use arbitrary Java functionality to
transform the input to the output. (Just because it is a sampler doesn't
mean it has to call a server and normally you won't).
You then add the sampler to your test plan in the normal way to compute
values wherever you need them.
Once you have one it is easy to either add more functionality to it or to
clone it for different functionality.
There is a sample Java sampler among the JMeter resources.
Be advised that, because JMeter runs in a single JVM on each JMeter server,
things like static variables work across all instances of the sampler on
that JMeter server (for good or bad).

Subject: A question of efficiency
Hi all
I'm looking for some answers and opinions in relation to using BeanShell
functions and the efficiency of JMeter scripts calling them.
I'm load testing a calendar application and need to generate and
manipulate random dates in the iCal DTSTAMP format i.e. 20070910T090800Z
for the time of writing this mail.
I found that for some of the more complex operations such as generating
random dates within a given timeframe and then adding hours, days or
weeks onto these it was very cumbersome to do this using JMeter alone so
I settled on BeanShell functions using the Calendar class to manipulate
dates and the following functions to convert the dates:
// Convert Java Calendar object to iCal timestamp
String calendarToTS(Calendar cal) {
String ret = String.format("%1$tY%1$tm%1$tdT%1$tH%1$tM%1$tSZ", new
Object[] {cal});
return ret;
}
// Convert iCal timestamp to Java Calendar object
Calendar tsToCalendar(String ts) {
Calendar ret = Calendar.getInstance();
ret.set(Calendar.YEAR, new Integer(ts.substring(0,4)));
ret.set(Calendar.MONTH, new Integer(ts.substring(4,6)) - 1);
ret.set(Calendar.DATE, new Integer(ts.substring(6,8)));
ret.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, new Integer(ts.substring(9,11)));
ret.set(Calendar.MINUTE, new Integer(ts.substring(11,13)));
ret.set(Calendar.SECOND, new Integer(ts.substring(13,15)));
return ret;
}
When I run a load test the jmeter process uses about 90% of the cpu on a
4 CPU solaris box which would normally only see about 20% load with an
equivalent script which doesn't call any BeanShell functions.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a more efficient way off accessing
Java functionality from JMeter.
Thanks, Stuart
