Hi
I think you should try the nightly build of jmeter.
There you can specify the content encoding used for sending the POST
request.
There is a parameter in the HTTP Request where you set the content
encoding, typically UTF-8 or ISO-8859-1, or whatever your web app is
expecting.
In Jmeter 2.2, the "JRE default encoding" was used in a number of
places, and it sounds like
the "JRE default encoding" on ZOS is ebcdic.
So I am pretty sure you should get it working if you use the nightly
build of jmeter.

I know JMeter works when I run it from a Windows box and point it at a ZOS

System Services on ZOS. This is so that I can automate some tests.
However when I run JMeter it appears to send garbage data (EBCDIC?) in the
POST request:
POST /SpringSimpleAddressBookWeb/add_contact.do HTTP/1.1

... as opposed to something like this when JMeter is run from Windows:
POST /SpringSimpleAddressBookWeb/add_contact.do HTTP/1.1
Connection: keep-alive

I've tried invoking JMeter by using the -Dfile.encoding=ISO-8859-1 on the
java command line but java then seems to expect the parameters for JMeter
to be in EBCDIC as well! For example:
/WebSphere/V6R0M0/AppServer/java/bin/java -jar -Dfile.encoding=ISO-8859-1
JMeter/jakarta-jmeter-2.2/bin/ApacheJMeter.jar -n -l jm.log -t
YP_STRUTS_ADD.jmx
yields:
/test/workarea/automation/tmp:>jmenc.sh
The jar file is not found: ÑÔ

`òKòaaÁ
ÑÔ

K
/test/workarea/automation/tmp:>
Any ideas please on how to get this working? I am not a ZOS expert so
hopefully the fix is simple:).
Many thanks.
