I tried using the characters/second setting in the jmeter.properties file. My recollection is that this only works with the commons HTTP client. Is that correct?
When I set cps to 10000 cps using the following statements in jmeter.properties httpclient.socket.http.cps=10000 httpclient.socket.https.cps=10000 then I get a null pointer exception for every http request that I make using the HTTP Request HTTPClient sampler. >From jmeter.log: ERROR - jmeter.threads.JMeterThread: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpConnection.open(HttpConnection.java:72 0) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodDirector.executeWithRetry(HttpMe thodDirector.java:386) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodDirector.executeMethod(HttpMetho dDirector.java:170) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient.executeMethod(HttpClient.java:3 96) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient.executeMethod(HttpClient.java:3 24) at org.apache.jmeter.protocol.http.sampler.HTTPSampler2.sample(HTTPSampler2 .java:527) at org.apache.jmeter.protocol.http.sampler.HTTPSamplerBase.sample(HTTPSampl erBase.java:658) at org.apache.jmeter.protocol.http.sampler.HTTPSamplerBase.sample(HTTPSampl erBase.java:647) at org.apache.jmeter.threads.JMeterThread.run(JMeterThread.java:247) at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source) The HTTP Request HTTPClient works fine when the lines above are commented out. I am running jmeter 2.1. Is this bug fixed in 2.3? I also have a question about when jmeter reads the jmeter.properties file. I am assuming that jmeter only reads this file when it is first started. Is this correct? Thanks, Alan
