Hi, Many moons ago, I submitted a patch to allow keep-alive on SOAP http requests. the thread is basically here:
http://marc.info/?l=jmeter-user&w=2&r=1&s=SOAP+keepalives&q=b Now i'm back in this area, and still confused :) What I need to simulate is this: x clients connecting ( i.e. threads ) Sending a SOAP request every y seconds ( Loop count, with a timer - sorted ) Connection being closed after z seconds. ?? It seems to me I have no control over z. In other words, I want to do a test where y is less than z, and should see the response time lower than when y is greater than z. But I dont currently see that behaviour at all. In fact, when I run on solaris via ant, the default behaviour in my setup seems to be that connections open and close incredibly quickly, and the number of established connections remains very low. In this setup, I see good 20ms response times. When i then enable keepalives, i see all the established connections build up, but i also see response time increase to 40ms. Which doesnt make much sense to me! I see different behaviour when i do this on Windows, although my windows box is also outside the firewall, and therefore going across a different network, hmm. Our real clients are majority windows. So; Is there any way i can configure z (keep alive timeout)? and any other thoughts?
