Ahh, well I'm happy with that explanation. I was trying to learn through experimentation and thus doing something I didn't know was not a supported use case. Obviously Java Sampler implementations need to define the interface for what parameters they expect. It didn't occur to me that the default parameters were the entire set of values, I just thought they were the ones that could have default values. On Thursday I'll add to the default parameters and see what happens.
