Recording and using web service calls

[Hiro Protagonist <hi...@googlemail.com>]

Hi all,

I need to create a load test using web service calls, and just wanted to
know two things:

1.) Are the web service samplers out of beta status as of JMeter 2.3.2 ?
I had a look at the tutorial
( http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/build-ws-test-plan.html )
and there it is mentioned that it is beta code - but doesn't mention a
version number. I am hoping that the functionality is ahead of the
documentation =)
2.) Is it possible to record web service calls with JMeter's proxy
server ? Acording to this thread
( http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/jakarta-jmeter-user/200510.mbox/%3C27e674a90510180708g2024a17sf61ffa7f2f0712a3@mail.gmail.com%3E ) it isn't possible, but then again that thread is reeeealy old. 

Thanks for your help !

The Webservice sampler uses and old version of Apache SOAP which
cannot easily be upgraded.

I recommend you use XML-RPC instead.

Why not try it and see if it works?

It's not possible to generate XML-RPC or Webservice samplers using the
Proxy recorder, but it might still work with the plain HTTP samplers.
