call http rquest from beanshell processor in jmeter - jmeter

Question

I have to call a series of http Request from a for loop from Beanshell processor in jmeter.
for (String fName : FNameArray)
{
System.out.println(fName);
if (dict.get(fName) != null)
{
String dicValue = dict.get(fName).toString();
String sr = dicValue.substring(dicValue.indexOf('=') + 1);
String id = sr.substring(sr.indexOf('=') + 1);
String pval = sr.substring(0, (sr.indexOf('=') - 3));
String email = id.replace("%40", "#");
System.out.println(id);
System.out.println(email);
System.out.println(pval);
// from here i have to call http request and pass the pval, id and email to that http request
}
}
From the above code, i have to pass pval, id and email to the 1st http request and then the next http request and so on.
but this pval, id and email are passing from a for loop.
how can i acheive this ?

I would go for the following option:
Amend your code as follows:
for (String fName : FNameArray) {
int counter = 1;
System.out.println(fName);
if (dict.get(fName) != null) {
String dicValue = dict.get(fName).toString();
String sr = dicValue.substring(dicValue.indexOf('=') + 1);
String id = sr.substring(sr.indexOf('=') + 1);
String pval = sr.substring(0, (sr.indexOf('=') - 3));
String email = id.replace("%40", "#");
System.out.println(id);
System.out.println(email);
System.out.println(pval);
vars.put("id_" + counter, id);
vars.put("email_" + counter, email);
vars.put("pval_" + counter, pval);
counter++;
// from here i have to call http request and pass the pval, id and email to that http request
}
}
Add ForEach Controller after Beanshell Test Element and configure it as follows:
Input variable prefix: id
Output variable name: current_id
Add "_" before number: checked
other fields - blank
Add Counter Test Element as a child of the ForEach Controller and configure it like:
Start: 1
Increment: 1
Reference Name: counter
Add HTTP Request Sampler after counter and use the following references:
"id" - ${current_id}
"email" - ${__V(email_${counter})}
"pval" - ${__V(pval_${counter})}
where required.
Alternative option is use Apache HTTPClient libraries (JMeter is built on top of them so they're available), see above link for quick start and examples. But in that case I would strongly recommend to use JSR223 Sampler and Groovy language instead of Beanshell.
