Hi Stephen, I'm unable to reproduce your bug using 2.11 with java 1.7
I have setup a sdw as per the fol. screenshot: http://flood-io-support.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/Sample_Result_Save_Configuration_20140512_070111.png And when executed from command line I get XML as expected.

Perhaps check your jmeter.properties file and make sure you are not setting the following config: jmeter.save.saveservice.output_format=csv Regards, Tim Koopmans +61 3 9221 6309 [image: Flood IO Pty Ltd] <https://flood.io> Level 27, 101 Collins Street Melbourne, Vic 3000 On Mon, May 12, 2014 at 6:24 AM, Stephen Townshend < [email protected]> wrote: > I'm seeing a potential bug with the Simple Data Writer in Jmeter 2.10 and > 2.11 (but it works fine in 2.9). > > > > If I create a Simple Data writer and 'Configure' it, save and close my JMX > project, and re-open it, the settings change.
