Replacement for the While loop, or a way to get it to work?

[Craig S. Wilson]

Hello.  I am new to the list and fairly new to JMeter.
I have been beating my head against the spot in the wall labelled "While 
Controller".  I did see one message in the maillist archive which seems 
to confirm my experience: the While Controller evaluates the condition 
one time and never re-evaluates.  This means you either get into the 
loop and never exit, or you never get in.

I have been trying to construct a logical equivalent to the While from 
other controllers, but have not been able to get anything to work.

Does anyone have a work-around?  Or a fix for the While?
In a nutshell, what I need to do is:
  upload a file for processing;
  while (processing not complete)
    wait a bit
  check the completion code of the processing;
I would be more than happy to include my entire test plan, if that would 
help.

And, is it just me, or do other people get these "Velocity 127 General 
Errors" when accessing most of the maillist archives?

Thanks,
--
