How to enable amf sampler type

Question

I want to record script using amf proxy server but in http sampler setting amf type is missing. How should i enable amf type in amf proxy server.

Answer 1

Try first existent solutions:

1. AMF Plugin for JMeter
This will add the following new components:

• AMF Request
• AMF Request Defaults
• AMF Proxy Server

that will allow you to test your app using the AMF3 protocol:

• Record AMF and HTTP traffic with the AMF Proxy Server
• Translate AMF to XML for easy manipulation
• Use variables to provide each virtual user with unique Client and Session IDs
• Store response XML in a variable for assertion and value extraction
• Review AMF responses as XML

NOTE: not supported in JMeter 2.6, works with JMeter 2.5.1.

...And these two as possible addition:

2. jmeter-amf-visualizer
JMeter visualizer AMF response.

3. jmeter-amfsampler
JMeter sampler for testing Flex/BlazeDS applications using Adobe's AMF protocol over HTTP.

4. UbikLoadPack Flex/AMF plugin
Commercial plugin from UBIK Load Pack.

Answer 2

Apache JMeter does not propose AMF Sampler due to License incompatibility of BlazeDS with Apache licence.

Regarding your login issue you should check that you add a CookieManager to your test plan. Then check you add the Java beans used by your Flex Application to send objects to Flex layer.
