Hi. I've just started using JMeter and have a couple of questions. I've=20
looked through the documentation and browsed the mail archives, but the=20
answers haven't jumped out at me.
 1) Is there a repository for JMeter extensions? Clearly some people will=
=20
have needs that will require unique samplers, listeners, etc., but I'm sure=
=20
that lots of people have made generic extensions that could be of general=
=20
use. No reason to reinvent the wheel if it's not necessary.
 2) Is there any built-in way to store a collection/list/array of extracted=
=20
data? My performance test has a set-up stage where simulated users are give=
n=20
a unique ID by a web service (think guid or social security number, or some=
=20
such unique ID that I won't know in advance). I need to save those to use i=
n=20
testing the web services. I could use the regular expression extractor and=
=20
stick them in ID1, ID2, etc., but I doubt that's the optimum solution, and=
=20
since I'm talking about thousands of IDs, that seems a bit tedious. I could=
=20
probably write them out to a file somehow and read them back in as needed.=
=20
What I'd really like to do is store them in an array, or a linked list, or=
=20
some sort of collection that I could use as data in my sampler. Is there=20
some standard way to do this that I've missed? If not, has anyone created a=
n=20
extension to do such a task? Any suggestions?
 Thanks.
 -Charlie
