jmeter performance test: using the functions

Question

I wrote jmeter test for testing the performance of site. So I would like to testing the work of site when there are a lot of user, for example ten. I created JMeter Test plan, with a 10 concurrent users there. For each user request should contain unique headers:

<HeaderManager guiclass="HeaderPanel" testclass="HeaderManager" testname="headers" enabled="true">
      <collectionProp name="HeaderManager.headers">
        <elementProp name="" elementType="Header">
          <stringProp name="Header.name">myHeader</stringProp>
          <stringProp name="Header.value">60000${__counter(FALSE)}${__machineName}</stringProp>
        </elementProp>

This testplan is working fine when I run it using JMeter GUI tool - the result is:

<httpSample t="14774" it="0" lt="14772" ts="1320656944945" s="true" lb="HTTP Request" rc="200" rm="OK" tn="Thread Group 1-1" dt="text" de="UTF-8" by="15213" sc="1" ec="0" ng="5" na="5">

myHeader: 600001D000753 Connection: keep-alive

But I want to embed these tests to hudson server, so it's need to be able running using maven. And when I run it like 'mvn jmeter:jmeter' - the built-in functions (I used counter and machineName, also tried to use 'threadNum' with the same result) are not working:

<httpSample t="23584" it="0" lt="23557" ts="1320656803378" s="true" lb="HTTP Request" rc="200" rm="OK" tn="Thread Group 1-2" dt="text" de="UTF-8" by="14816" sc="1" ec="0" ng="9" na="9">

myHeader: 60000${_counter(FALSE)}${_machineName} Connection: keep-alive

Why is it so and how can I fix it?

UPD:
I've fixed it in that way: I placed <CounterConfig guiclass="CounterConfigGui" testclass="CounterConfig" testname="myCounter" enabled="true"> <stringProp name="CounterConfig.start">1</stringProp> <stringProp name="CounterConfig.end">100</stringProp> <stringProp name="CounterConfig.incr">1</stringProp> <stringProp name="CounterConfig.name">myCounter1</stringProp> <stringProp name="CounterConfig.format"></stringProp> <boolProp name="CounterConfig.per_user">false</boolProp> </CounterConfig> in the test plan, and then used ${myCounter1} in the headers config

You can and should post your solution as an answer to this question(which you can accept later). — oers, Dec 19 '11 at 12:15
