Hi, I'm pretty new to JMeter. I set up some basic tests and tried some of the options for recording operations to save as a test plan. I haven't had much luck with this yet. I am running Apache and Tomcat on a local PC behind my firewall and proxy server. My browser has the settings it needs so that I can get outside. I haven't been able to record anything through JMeter yet. I guess my proxy settings are interfering with JMeter.
The site I want to test is an applet/servlet so once I get past the index.html page all I have are the jar files. Even the security is handled by the applet. How do I record this traffic so that I can do some basic testing? I understand how I can use the HTTP request to send a username and password to a page but how do I handle something like this where the applet is prompting me for the information? Can I even use JMeter to test this kind of setup? I had one of the Java guys modify the main servlet to write out all the requests it received to a file in the test plan element format so that I could paste this back in to a test plan but this only gives me a certain amount of control. Its still a canned test and can't respond to results it receives. I am a programmer but I haven't spent much time with Java (yet) so I guess I'm looking for some place to start to get an understanding of how to write all these custom test applications I see everybody is talking about. I know I've been rambling a bit but I like what I see so far with JMeter and I would like to be able to use it but I can't seem to get past the testing of a simple "HelloWorld" level. I have been reading through the JMeter docs but I still feel in over my head at the moment. Thanks in advance for any hints, suggestions, readings, etc. Trevor Trevor Johnson - Customer Support Specialist Tel ext: 2571 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Marine Division CARIS www.caris.com Tel: +1-506-458-8533 Fax: +1-506-459-3849 CARIS 2004 - Where Waterways Meet 9th International User Group Conference and Educational Sessions 22-25 November 2004, Hotel Hafen Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany Visit www.caris.com/caris2004 or e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] for more.
