Yes - well sort of anyway.
With Gateway (e.g. WAP Gateway) in place one machine is effectively acting as a client
on behalf of all (mobile phone)handset users. The Gateway application makes initial
contact with our application and passes the calling number, e.g. Calling=4477779283423
as a parameter. This only passed in first request. However, Gateway handles cookies so
once we know who user is (from calling number passed in first request) then we use
HttpSession and cookies to maintain state.
So typical sequence of URLs accessed bu user (hidden by Gateway of course) might be
http://www.myco.com/servlet/AServlet?Calling=4412345123456
http://www.myco.com/servlet/AServlet?pageId=somepage
http://www.myco.com/servlet/AServlet?pageId=someotherpage
So to generate realistic multi-user loading need to be able to alter the Calling param
on original hit (i.e. to denote different users) and then make calls to other URLs
passing back cookie originally received in response from first hit.
Hope that makes some sort of sense and can help in answering my original question that
remains below.
Thanks, Nathan.
