Well, now that i have played around more with Jmeter functions and scripting, actually got the source from CVS, looked at it, learned how to use BeanShells or modify them .. I think I was quite productive. I am a Java Coder and I really think about the Idea to write a spider Component, but I first wanted to know if it is possible to do it with the predefined Elements. Who wants to invent the wheel twice? And it is possible, altough just for First Level Links as i read, but that meets the demand, for now.
About the questions: (example) It is possible to pass links parsed from a http sample into an array. The ForEach Controller can use this array/list and iterate through it so i get the values and can work with them. Now the BeanShell Sample Script can't (but as i already said before, i just heard the first time more about beanshells). So why isn't there a connection? What should i do, if i want, and i do want, to use the results of an httpsample in the beanshell sample that is the next element of the http sample? And i may not ask about recursion, do i? -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Michael Stover [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 20.

I can't quite figure out what's confusing you from this paragraph. TestMaker is another tool that is based on Jython scripting. You might find it useful. You're right that JMeter does not have a component that provides spidering in depth, but it's certainly possible to write one. JMeter's approach to end-user testing is to provide pre-written components that can do the most common activities testers would want. If you find the need to "script", it's likely your component simply hasn't been written, and one solution is to write the component you need. It's not particularly difficult to write a JMeter component, and the list is here to help with that (if you're a java coder). Otherwise, you can beg and plead for a spidering component, and maybe someone will write it for you :-) -Mike > > > > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: sebb [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Gesendet: Mittwoch, 20.
