Java Framework Architecture
The Java Framework is the technology that connects Java and BDL and hence opens up a variety of possibilities.
It enables you to utilize your Java code for
- functional testing,
- load testing, and
- monitoring.
Using the Java Framework, you can test and monitor server components through a variety of Java technologies, like
- EJB,
- SOAP,
- RMI,
- or JDBC.
It enables you to both create new and use existing Java code, by
- visual creation,
- manual scripting, or
- importing.
It offers you to use a number of tools to do so like
- the Silk Performer Workbench
- Eclipse or any other Java IDE
- specialized import tools
- Java Explorer
For more information, see Using Java Code for Load Testing.
The Java Framework BDL API is the "membrane" between the generic Silk Performer BDL code and Java code. All the possibilities to communicate from BDL to Java is covered by Runtime-to-Java Communication, the reverse direction of the communication is described in Java-to-Runtime Communication.
