the first step is to write a sampler using your custom driver. You should be able to test it out with the default controllers, then you can work on your own custom controller. peter

Also, the application uses a persistent connection. Users typically connect to the server in the morning and disconnect in late afternoon. I have ASCII files that contain daily 'sessions', i.e. every request sent for a specific user, followed by the idle time until the next request. I want to replay these 'sessions' (possibly at a faster rate) in order to to load testing on the application server My plan is to write a custom Controler that will connect to the server at startup and then open one of the session files and loop through the request. I also need a custom Timer that will pause for the length of the idle time until the next request. My questions are: - Is this the right way to tackle this problem? - If so, is there a way to get the Timer to ask the Controler for the next amount of idle time? (I'm a bit confused as to how the architecture goes...)
