And use as few listeners as possible, and don't try to return the sample data. It's easy enough to create a simple test plan using the Java Test sampler. Or you can use the HTTP sampler with a file: URL. This can be used to test the client-server communications without needing to contact the real servers. If the additional load does prove too much, then just run the test plan using non-GUI mode on all the servers independently, and combine the results files. This has been discussed many times on the mailing list. > HTH, > Felix > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] > For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
