          public static final String ARGUMENTS

      Property key representing the arguments for the JavaSamplerClient.
      See Also:
        Constant Field Values

  - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### JavaSampler

          public JavaSampler()

      Create a JavaSampler.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### clone

          public Object clone()

      Specified by:
        `clone` in interface `TestElement`
      Overrides:
        `clone` in class `AbstractTestElement`

    - #### setArguments

          public void setArguments(Arguments args)

      Set the arguments (parameters) for the JavaSamplerClient to be executed with.
      Parameters:
        `args` - the new arguments. These replace any existing arguments.

    - #### getArguments

          public Arguments getArguments()

      Get the arguments (parameters) for the JavaSamplerClient to be executed with.
      Returns:
        the arguments

    - #### setClassname

          public void setClassname(String classname)

      Sets the Classname attribute of the JavaConfig object
      Parameters:
        `classname` - the new Classname value

    - #### getClassname

          public String getClassname()

      Gets the Classname attribute of the JavaConfig object
      Returns:
        the Classname value

    - #### sample

          public SampleResult sample(Entry entry)

      Performs a test sample. The `sample()` method retrieves the reference to the Java client and calls its `runTest()` method.
      Specified by:
        `sample` in interface `Sampler`
      Parameters:
        `entry` - the Entry for this sample
      Returns:
        test SampleResult
      See Also:
        `JavaSamplerClient.runTest(JavaSamplerContext)`

    - #### testStarted

          public void testStarted()

      Description copied from interface: `TestStateListener`

      Called just before the start of the test from the main engine thread. This is before the test elements are cloned. Note that not all the test variables will have been set up at this point.

      N.B. testStarted() and testEnded() are called from different threads.

      Specified by:
        `testStarted` in interface `TestStateListener`
      See Also:
        `StandardJMeterEngine.run()`

    - #### testStarted

          public void testStarted(String host)

      Description copied from interface: `TestStateListener`

      Called just before the start of the test from the main engine thread. This is before the test elements are cloned. Note that not all the test variables will have been set up at this point.

      N.B. testStarted() and testEnded() are called from different threads.

      Specified by:
        `testStarted` in interface `TestStateListener`
      Parameters:
        `host` - name of host
      See Also:
        `StandardJMeterEngine.run()`

    - #### testEnded

          public void testEnded()

      Method called at the end of the test. This is called only on one instance of JavaSampler. This method will loop through all of the other JavaSamplers which have been registered (automatically in the constructor) and notify them that the test has ended, allowing the JavaSamplerClients to cleanup.
      Specified by:
        `testEnded` in interface `TestStateListener`
      See Also:
        `StandardJMeterEngine.stopTest()`

    - #### testEnded

          public void testEnded(String host)

      Description copied from interface: `TestStateListener`

      Called once for all threads after the end of a test. This will use the same element instances as at the start of the test.

      N.B. testStarted() and testEnded() are called from different threads.

      Specified by:
        `testEnded` in interface `TestStateListener`
      Parameters:
        `host` - name of host
      See Also:
        `StandardJMeterEngine.stopTest()`

    - #### applies

          public boolean applies(ConfigTestElement configElement)

      Description copied from class: `AbstractSampler`
      Does configElement apply to Sampler
      Specified by:
        `applies` in interface `ConfigMergabilityIndicator`
      Overrides:
        `applies` in class `AbstractSampler`
      Parameters:
        `configElement` - `ConfigTestElement`
      Returns:
        boolean
      See Also:
        `AbstractSampler.applies(org.apache.jmeter.config.ConfigTestElement)`

    - #### interrupt

          public boolean interrupt()

      Description copied from interface: `Interruptible`
      Interrupt the current operation if possible.
      Specified by:
        `interrupt` in interface `Interruptible`
      Returns:
