public class AccessLogSampler
extends HTTPSampler
implements TestBean, ThreadListener

Description:

AccessLogSampler is responsible for a couple of things:

The intent of this sampler is it uses the generator and parser to create a HTTPSampler when it is needed. It does not contain logic about how to parse the logs. It also doesn't care how Generator is implemented, as long as it implements the interface. This means a person could simply implement a dummy parser to generate random parameters and the generator consumes the results. This wasn't the original intent of the sampler. I originaly wanted to write this sampler, so that I can take production logs to simulate production traffic in a test environment. Doing so is desirable to study odd or unusual behavior. It's also good to compare a new system against an existing system to get near apples- to-apples comparison. I've been asked if benchmarks are really fair comparisons just about every single time, so this helps me accomplish that task.

Some bugs only appear under production traffic, so it is useful to generate traffic using production logs. This way, JMeter can record when problems occur and provide a way to match the server logs.

Constructor Detail

AccessLogSampler

public AccessLogSampler()
Method Detail

setLogFile

public void setLogFile(String path)
Set the path where XML messages are stored for random selection.


getLogFile

public String getLogFile()
Get the path where XML messages are stored. this is the directory where JMeter will randomly select a file.


setParserClassName

public void setParserClassName(String classname)
it's kinda obvious, but we state it anyways. Set the xml file with a string path.

Parameters:
classname - - parser class name

getParserClassName

public String getParserClassName()
Get the file location of the xml file.

Returns:
String file path.

sampleWithParser

public SampleResult sampleWithParser()
sample gets a new HTTPSampler from the generator and calls it's sample() method.


sample

public SampleResult sample(Entry e)
sample(Entry e) simply calls sample().

Specified by:
sample in interface Sampler
Overrides:
sample in class HTTPSamplerBase
Parameters:
e - - ignored
Returns:
the new sample

instantiateParser

public void instantiateParser()
Method will instantiate the log parser based on the class in the text field. This was done to make it easier for people to plugin their own log parser and use different log parser.
