Hey, That sounds complicated. This is how I did it:
Problem - application requires lots of .xml documents for load test (more than I can generate prior to test, or even store for that matter) - I wanted to have access and modify dynamically the content sent in those xml Solution 1. use Soap XML/RPC Sampler instead of HTTP Request 2. paste the xml schema fields there 3. as content for those fields I used whatever I needed: variables that pass text generated in various random ways or timestamps or whatever fields were needed (some were configured from CSV Data Sets as well) 4. un-check "Send SOAP Action" => et voila, this works as POST action and it acts just as sending a post request using the HTTP Sampler, but it gives the flexibility of changing the content and viewing the document while editing the test plan in GUI mode. Limitations a. the default encoding with this sampler is UTF-8 (depends on SOAP I think), this can cause problems if you depend on the encoding b. I haven't figured out how to make a multi-part POST using this method, so if anyone can help I would much appreciate it. > If I couldn't make this work like this, I would have tried to send long strings as parameter in the HTTP Sampler (if you don't specify the name of the parameter, it will send just the string as post data, however, using that SOAP Sampler works smoothly for me). Please tell me if this works for you as well!
