I think you are missing something. By recording your samples you can get all the basic info into JMeter, and then you can edit them to change the specific info from static to dynamic values that change each time through the test. Usually, the majority of parameters are static, and a small percentage are dynamic, and so this saves you a lot of work. > > One approach would be to enable http samplers to read entire, > pre-configured query strings from a file (one could write a simple tool > in Python to generate the query string files).

You can put the query string into the PATH value for GETS, and you might be able to use the XML-RPC sampler the same way for POSTS -Mike > > Both approaches require the http sampler to take a single argument > containing the entire query string.
