Actually, it is mentioned in the user manual: http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/component_reference.html#Java_Request See the yellow box under the screenshot. We should probably remove (or disable) them ... > Obviously Java Sampler implementations need to define the interface for what > parameters they expect. > It didn't occur to me that the default parameters were the entire set of > values, I just thought they were the ones that could have default values. Yes, the Javadoc needs updating.
