I did find that JMeter is currently developing a component that will be able to load test SOAP/XML-RPC services, and allows you to graphically build your calls (although you just type the xml). Anyone interested in load/stress testing their XML-RPC services should keep their eyes on that. However, that code is alpha and does not work at all yet, but their UI gave me an idea for a super-simple way to do it. I'm thinking you just type in the url, method, and full xml request body, and I show you the full response. If I leave the request sitting in a JTextArea, it will be pretty easy to tweak values and test a call repeatedly. I think I can do it with just URLConnection, but I may have to use HttpClient if URLConnection is insufficient. That seems like an extremely easy solution that will solve my problem of having to build complex params in code, and recompile between every call. Thanks, Pete
