Also documented in context in the full Functions and Variables reference.

The jexl function returns the result of evaluating a Commons JEXL expression. See links below for more information on JEXL expressions.

The __jexl3 function uses Commons JEXL 3

• JEXL syntax description
• JEXL examples

Name	Required	Description
Expression	Yes	The expression to be evaluated. For example, 6*(5+2)
Name of variable	No	The name of the variable to set.

The following variables are made available to the script:

• log - the Logger for the function

• ctx - JMeterContext object

• vars - JMeterVariables object

• props - JMeterProperties (class java.util.Properties) object

• threadName - String containing the current thread name

• sampler - current Sampler object (if any)

• sampleResult - previous SampleResult object (if any)

• OUT - System.out - e.g. OUT.println("message")

  Jexl can also create classes and call methods on them, for example:

Systemclass=log.class.forName("java.lang.System");
now=Systemclass.currentTimeMillis();

Note that the Jexl documentation on the web-site wrongly suggests that “div” does integer division. In fact “div” and “/” both perform normal division. One can get the same effect as follows:

i= 5 / 2;
i.intValue(); // or use i.longValue()

Note

JMeter allows the expression to contain multiple statements.
