If you need a proxy server to reach your webapp from your browser, then you need to start JMeter with information about the proxy server. See http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/get-started.html#proxy_server
You'll be able to simulate your applet (from your server's point-of-view) if it sends http requests to the server. If it does, JMeter's proxy server should be able to record those requests. -Mike On Mon, 2004-06-21 at 11:32, Trevor Johnson wrote: > Hi, > > I'm pretty new to JMeter.
