Method Detail

nextIsNull

protected Sampler nextIsNull()
                      throws NextIsNullException

Only called at End of Loop

Called by next() when getCurrentElement() returns null. Reinitialises the controller.

Overrides:

nextIsNull in class GenericController

Returns:

null (always, for this class)

Throws:

NextIsNullException

triggerEndOfLoop

public void triggerEndOfLoop()

Trigger end of loop condition on controller (used by Start Next Loop feature)

Specified by:

triggerEndOfLoop in interface Controller

Overrides:

triggerEndOfLoop in class GenericController

next

public Sampler next()

This skips controller entirely if the condition is false on first entry.

Determines the next sampler to be processed.

If isDone, returns null.

Gets the list element using current pointer. If this is null, calls GenericController.nextIsNull().

If the list element is a sampler, calls GenericController.nextIsASampler(Sampler), otherwise calls GenericController.nextIsAController(Controller)

If any of the called methods throws NextIsNullException, returns null, otherwise the value obtained above is returned.

Specified by:

next in interface Controller

Overrides:

next in class GenericController

Returns:

the next sampler or null

setCondition

public void setCondition(String string)

Parameters:

string - the condition to save

getCondition

public String getCondition()

Returns:

the condition
