Hi Trevor -
I hope you don't mind me e-mailing you personally, but take a look at:
http://www.badboy.com.au
You might find it useful in that it lets you record in a browser (using IE), and then save the result as a JMeter test plan. It might be a useful way to get started in testing with JMeter because it will create a nice simple, structured test plan for you.
Best regards,
Simon Sadedin. Badboy Software.

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
