Hi Matt,
I took a quick look at the tradeTech.pdf in the zip file. When you say
'internal processes', are you talking about with IBM and Oracle? I ask
that because it appears to depend on DB2 or Oracle, and LoadRunner or
Workload Simulator.
The application is not dependent really on any specific database so it
could use any database that uses SQL-92 syntax and has a JDBC driver.
It is written as a J2EE application that is portable across multiple
DBMSs as well as Application Servers.
In terms of driving the workload one can also use jMeter as a driver or
a simple URL generator and use the built-in TradeScenarioServlet which
does the randomization within a set of constraints to get a consistent
workload.
I'm looking to implement a fair-use implementation of the TPC-App with
J2EE to use PostgreSQL, initially, for the database. I've have done
similar things at the OSDL with the TPC-C and TPC-H for PostgreSQL,
which are completely database centric, for performance testing. I've
gotten some outside contributions to port to MySQL and SAP DB/MAX DB
too. I do think the TPC-App is more interesting than Trade but the same
time more complicated. We also have some hardware at OSDL that we may
be able to use to scale up a test.
I'm planning on continuing down the Trade path for now because its
already J2EE and pretty much done except for the "internal" work to make
it happen. In the interim I'll take a look at TPC-App to get a better
understanding of it. How does it compare to TPC-W?
My programming skills are semi-decent, so I could certainly help with a
bit of tutelage with any Java programming. I'm not looking to entirely
offload the work. :)
Didn't think you were :)

Hi Mark,
I'm not familiar with TPC-App but we are looking to provide a sample
called Trade for inclusion in Geronimo. Here is a link to the
Application as it stands today.
https://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/iwm/web/reg/pick.do?source=trade6
Currently we going through internal processes to get it approved. I'm
not sure of the overlap with TPC-App. Here is a link to tst drive the
app if you like. There have been several bug fixes since this version
but I haven't had a chance to update this server yet.
Let me know if you have some questions.
Matt

Hi all,
Would there be any interest in putting together a test based on the
TPC-App specification? (http://www.tpc.org/tpc_app/) The specification
is designed to stress an application server. We'd like to have a
workload to stress Java J2EE, but my Java skills are a bit lacking. I
could certainly help with the database backend part though.
