public class DriverContext
extends DriverContext

DriverContext is the point of communication between the developer-provided driver and the Faban driver framework. Each thread has it's own context.

This class provides the actual implementation and is located in the engine package to get direct access to all the restricted/needed classes and members.

attachMetrics

public void attachMetrics(CustomMetrics metrics)

Attaches a custom metrics object to the primary metrics. This should be done by the driver at initialization time. Only one custom metrics can be attached. Subsequent calls to this method replaces the previously attached metrics.

Specified by:

attachMetrics in class DriverContext

Parameters:

metrics - The custom metrics to be replaced

attachMetrics

public void attachMetrics(String name,
                          CustomMetrics metrics)

Attaches a custom metrics object to the primary metrics, given a name or description. The name/description must be unique. This should be done by the driver at initialization time. Only one custom metrics can be attached. Subsequent calls to this method replaces the previously attached metrics.

Specified by:

attachMetrics in class DriverContext

Parameters:

name - The name or description of this metrics

metrics - The custom metrics to be replaced

attachMetrics

public void attachMetrics(String name,
                          CustomTableMetrics metrics)

Attaches a custom table metrics object to the primary metrics, given a name or description. The name/description must be unique. This should be done by the driver at initialization time. Only one custom metrics can be attached. Subsequent calls to this method replaces the previously attached metrics.

Specified by:

attachMetrics in class DriverContext

Parameters:

name - The name or description of this metrics

metrics - The custom metrics to be replaced

getProperty

public String getProperty(String name)

Obtains a single-value property from the configuration. If the name of a multi-value property is given, only one value is returned. It is undefined as to which value in the list is returned.

Specified by:

getProperty in class DriverContext

Parameters:

name - The property name

Returns:

The property value, or null if there is no such property

getPropertyValues

public String[] getPropertyValues(String name)

Obtains a multiple-value property from the configuration. A single-value property will be returned as an array of dimension 1.

Specified by:

getPropertyValues in class DriverContext

Parameters:

name - The property name

Returns:

The property values

getPropertiesNode

public Element getPropertiesNode()

Obtains the reference to the whole properties element as configured in the driverConfig element of this driver in the config file. This method allows custom free-form structures but the driver will need to spend the effort walking the DOM tree.

Specified by:

getPropertiesNode in class DriverContext

Returns:

The DOM tree representing the properties node

isTxSteadyState

public boolean isTxSteadyState()

Checks whether the driver is currently in steady state or not. This method needs to be called after the critical section of the operation. The transaction times must have been recorded in order to establish whether or not the transaction is in steady state.

Specified by:

isTxSteadyState in class DriverContext

Returns:

True if in steady state, false if not.

getXPathValue

public String getXPathValue(String xPath)
                     throws XPathExpressionException

Reads the element or attribute by it's XPath. The XPath is evaluated from the root of the configuration file.

Specified by:

getXPathValue in class DriverContext

Parameters:

xPath - The XPath to evaluate.

Returns:

The element or attribute value defined by the XPath

Throws:

XPathExpressionException - If the given XPath has an error

recordTime

public void recordTime()

Records the start and end time of the critical section of an operation. This operation may block until the appropriate start time for the operation has arrived. There is no blocking for the end time. This method is for use in the driver code to demarcate critical sections.

Specified by:

recordTime in class DriverContext

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if the operation uses auto timing

pauseTime

public void pauseTime()

Pauses the critical section so that operations made during the pause do not count into the response time. If Timing.AUTO is used, the pause ends automatically when the next request is sent to the server. For manual timing, the next call to recordTime ends the pause. Calls pauseTime when the critical section is already paused are simply ignored.

Specified by:

pauseTime in class DriverContext

getTime

public int getTime()

Obtains a relative time, in milliseconds. This time is relative to a certain time at the beginning of the benchmark run and does not represent a wall clock time. All agents will have the same reference time. Use this time to check time durations during the benchmark run.

Specified by:

getTime in class DriverContext

Returns:

The relative time of the benchmark run

getSteadyStateStart

public int getSteadyStateStart()

Obtains the relative time - in milliseconds - that steady state starts, if set. The if the time is not yet set, it will return 0.

Specified by:

getSteadyStateStart in class DriverContext

Returns:

The relative time steady state starts

getNanoTime

public long getNanoTime()

Obtains a relative time, in nanosecs. This time is relative to a certain time at the beginning of the benchmark run and does not represent a wall clock time. All agents will have the same reference time. Use this time to check time durations during the benchmark run.

Specified by:

getNanoTime in class DriverContext

Returns:

The relative time of the benchmark run

getSteadyStateStartNanos

public long getSteadyStateStartNanos()

Obtains the relative time - in nanosecs - that steady state starts, if set. The if the time is not yet set, it will return 0.

setPauseSupported

public void setPauseSupported(boolean pause)

Property whether pause is supported with the current protocol. Default is true. Protocols that may not be request/response but may have concurrent inbound and outbound traffic, AND wishes to support auto timing should set this flag to false. The default is true.
