Rules Engine Testing With JMeter?

[WDDobbs <wd...@earthlink.net>]

Hi,

I would like to use JMeter to to load test a web-based rules engine.
The requests/responses are mostly XML, however there are a few
parameters used as well which are POSTed (the servlet uses them for
configuration etc...).  The sequence for a complete interaction with the
rules server involves 4 steps:

1) Start Session-->start session command sent, SessionID returned
2) Set Data -->send data to be evaluated, xml success indicator returned

3) Fire Rule -->send command to begin rule evaluation process, xml data
returned
4)Close Session

In steps 2-4, I need to include the SessionID in the request in order
for this sequence to work.  Somehow I need to get the ID from step 1
into the XML data for subsequent steps as the test case executes.  In
reading the mail archives, I found some similar discussions--except
these were dealing with the sessionID in the URL.  Is a
ModificationManager the solution here?  If so, could someone lend some
tips on how this might be done?

Thanks in advance for your time!

-Bill
