| An abstract implementation of the JavaSamplerClient interface. This
implementation provides default implementations of most of the methods in the
interface, as well as some convenience methods, in order to simplify
development of JavaSamplerClient implementations.
See
org.apache.jmeter.protocol.java.test.SleepTest for an example of
how to extend this class.
While it may be necessary to make changes to the JavaSamplerClient interface
from time to time (therefore requiring changes to any implementations of this
interface), we intend to make this abstract class provide reasonable
implementations of any new methods so that subclasses do not necessarily need
to be updated for new versions. Therefore, when creating a new
JavaSamplerClient implementation, developers are encouraged to subclass this
abstract class rather than implementing the JavaSamplerClient interface
directly. Implementing JavaSamplerClient directly will continue to be
supported for cases where extending this class is not possible (for example,
when the client class is already a subclass of some other class).
The runTest() method of JavaSamplerClient does not have a default
implementation here, so subclasses must define at least this method. It may
be useful to override other methods as well.
