Hi, William, (and everyone else in the webtest community)-- Thanks for the suggestion-- I gave it a try, and with my config.xml setup just like the example below, when I ran my test, the build failed with a message that said: "XML document structures must start and end within the same entity" I have experimented a lot, and have not found a way to run a test with the following line: <option name="ThrowExceptionOnFailingStatusCode" value="false"/> in between the config start and end tags in my config.xml file. An error has always been thrown. I am trying to use webtest to verify title text and page text of an expected 404 page produced by an expected and desired failed URL invoke step. Any suggestions, direction, or insight would be very much appreciated. Thanks! David Klima

Try putting a closing ">" on your config setup like I have done for you below. I enlarged the font of it so you could see. <config host="localhost" port="8080" protocol="http" basepath="" summary="true" saveresponse="true" resultfile="${wt.resultfile}" resultpath="${wt.resultpath}" haltonfailure="false" haltonerror="false"> <option name="ThrowExceptionOnFailingStatusCode" value="false"/> <config/> William Soula QA Analyst Pointserve, Inc. 110 Wild Basin Road Suite 300 Austin, Texas 78746 O: 512.617.5311 F: 512.617.0466 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Klima, David Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2008 7:57 AM To: [email protected]; Marc Guillemot Cc: Klima, David Subject: RE: [Webtest] Is there a way for webtest to verify title text and page text of an expected 404 page produced by an expected and desired failed URL invoke step? Hi, Marc, Below is the contents of my config.xml file. Is this what is called the config node? I will appreciate any insight and/or advice you may offer. Thanks!
