Trouble sending HTTP request with POST variable

[br...@bt.com]

Hello,

I am trying to load test a java servlet that fetches records from an archive database.

The servlet works as follows:

1-Reads in post variables from HTTP header
2-Uses variables to query database
3-Returns XML


I have setup a test which I want to fire off HTTP requests with post variables however the test is not working, getting errors with J Meter.

Screenshot 1 - Shows the structure of the test

Screenshot 2 - Shows the CSV file I am reading from

[cid:image002.png@01CDC70B.7B16EC80]

I have placed the CSV file in the same folder that my test plan is saved in!

Screenshot 3 - Shows the HTTP request
