Perhaps that you can use the ab tool from Apache (part of the support tools optionnaly installed with apache 1.3)
After you can use it with command like :
ab -n 2100 -c 300 http://monserveur/mapage.jsp
(-n : number of connection, -c : number of concurrent connection)
After you have test a jsp page, perhaps you can try to test an html
page of the same size.
I hope it could help you, please send back info if you find other tools/protocol for benchmarking Apache/Tomcat.
It is also a file test-tomcat.xml on the tomcat distribution (in /src/etc/)
that perhaps you could modify for your tests.
