Hi, Thanks to all for the replies.
The first way of doing this that Sebb quoted is what I was attempting to do. However, it doesn't seem to read the file. Based on my original message which details how I set it up, does anyone see a mistake? Thanks again!

Not necessary, see the description of the Filepath attribute under: http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/component_reference.html#HTTP_Request "If it is a POST or PUT request and there is a single file whose 'name' attribute (below) is omitted, then the file is sent as the entire body of the request, i.e. no wrappers are added. This allows arbitrary bodies to be sent. This functionality is present for POST requests after version 2.2, and also for PUT requests after version 2.3." Or you may find it easier to use: http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/component_reference.html#SOAP/XML-RPC_Request > For now just to test you should just copy the XML as a String > into the value field (you can leave name empty if your service does not need > a name) and see if that works . > regards > deepak > > On Mon, Aug 23, 2010 at 3:27 PM, Shelli Orton <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> >> >> I'm writing a JMeter test to test a RESTful webservice I've written. >> The webservice POST methods both consume and produce "text/xml" content >> type.
