Hi all, It is great to have the Daytrader sample in the Geronimo projects. Daytrader is an end-to-end application that allows a full functional testing of Geronimo as well as measuring the performance of the server.
However, in order to do a performance test, a users need to drive the application with some kind of a load driving software. And for that they need to spend time and effort to develop scripts for driving the sample. Very often, they do not have the time or the desire to invest in learning all the specifics about a new load driving tool and/or the application just to be able to perform a test. But if they are provided will the scripts they will gladly use them. I think that it would be very useful for both developers and users of Daytrader to package the benchmark with scripts for load driving it. There are a couple of load driving software project in the open source arena that we can use for that purpose. Recently, I looked into a couple of them (for my own testing purposes). I think that the Apache Jackarta JMeter (http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/) would be suitable choice for driving Daytrader. Thoughts? Suggestions? Slava
