Yes. And the field labels in the gui appear as they are defined in the properties file, so I'm sure it's being read.
I did a bit more digging after posting. I can see where the "server" JMeterProperty is being set: It looks like TestBeanGUI.modifyTestElement is transfering the JMeterProperties directly to the element.propMap. But it's never calling the setter method on the element. I assume there should be a propertyDescriptor.getWriteMethod().invoke somewhere to call the setter on the element, though I don't know if that's the right place to do it. In any case, I can't see anywhere where the setter method is being invoked for config elements. -----Original Message----- From: sebb [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thu 7/23/2009 5:59 PM To: JMeter Users List Subject: Re: getters/setters never called: ConfigTestElement implementing TestBean Did you set up the properties? i.e. server.displayName server.shortDescription On 24/07/2009, Donohue, Jack <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm new to JMeter.
