JMeter questions answered (well, sort of)

[Mike Stover <ms...@apache.org>]

Lot's of questions today.  I've combined them all to one email message.

Not that I know of.  Is there a problem with that documentation?  If so, 
please help me fix it!

I'm not sure what the problem is.  JMeter hasn't had any problems with 
threading in a long while.  You do know you can't change the number of 
threads while it's running, right?  When you say "monitoring tool", what 
exactly are you referring to?

You must have v1.6.1!  There's a bug preventing you from doing that.  I've 
put a fix into cvs, so download that latest nightly build and compile it.  
should work.

Also, here's a sample testscript that shows what you are trying to do, I 
think:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<controllers>
<HttpTestSample type="org.apache.jmeter.protocol.http.control.HttpTestSample"
