Re: [Grinder-use] xml example

[Philip A. <ph...@ma...>]

The tutorial assumes that there are a set of pre-supplied XML files with 
file names ./CAAssets/1.xml, CAAssets/2.xml, ...

Its not hard to create XML dynamically with Jython scripting. You uses 
its string manipulation operators to create the XML yourself, use the 
various Java libraries that are available for XML (JAXB, XMLBeans, 
etc.), or use the support available from the Python libraries.
