BeanShell Sampler (Beta Code)

Wiki MarkupThis sampler allows you to write a sampler using the \[http://www.beanshell.org/ BeanShell\] scripting language.unmigrated-wiki-markup

Please note that the \[http://www.beanshell.org/ BeanShell\] jar file is not included with JMeter; it needs to be separately downloaded. For full details on using \[http://www.beanshell.org/ BeanShell\] please see the \[http://www.beanshell.org/ BeanShell web-site\].

Parameters

Wiki MarkupN.B. Each Sampler instance has its own \[http://www.beanshell.org/ BeanShell\] interpeter, and Samplers are only called from a single thread.

If the property "beanshell.sampler.init" is defined, it is passed to the Interpreter as the name of a sourced file. This can be used to define common methods and variables. There is a sample init file in the bin directory: BeanShellFunctionBeanShellSampler.bshrc.

If a script file is supplied, that will be used, otherwise the script will be used.unmigrated-wiki-markup

Before invoking the script, some variables are set up in the \[http://www.beanshell.org/ BeanShell\] interpreter:

The contents of the Parameters field is put into the variable "Parameters". The string is also split into separate tokens using a single space as the separator, and the resulting list is stored in the String array bsh.args.

...

if (bsh.args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("StopThread")) {
    log.info("Stop Thread detected!");
    SampleResult.StopThread(bsh.args[1]);
}
return "Data from sample with Label "+Label;

With the following code you can access the HttpRequest body and modify it:

sampler = ctx.getCurrentSampler ();
args = sampler.getProperty ("HTTPsampler.Arguments");
httpArg = args.getObjectValue ().getArguments ().get (0);
body = httpArg.getObjectValue ().getProperty ("Argument.value").getStringValue ();
