One possibility why the replay did not work - did you add a Cookie Manager
to the generated test plan?

If not, JMeter will not attempt to return cookies to the server.
(It's not needed for recording the script, because the browser will handle
them).

Yes, but ...

JMeter can download but does not run applets or JavaScript.

Having said that, the browser will download applets and JavaScript via
JMeter and then run them itself. i.e. when running as a proxy, JMeter does
not need to know how to run the applets or JavaScript, because the browser
is does it.

So as far as I can tell, the proxy server should record what the applet is
doing, and in theory the replay should work, no?

This assumes that the applet requests get routed via the JMeter proxy, and
that the proxy correctly records everything the applet sends, and replay
mimics everything correctly ...

What errors are you getting? 
Are there any errors in jmeter.log?

Do you get the same errors if you use the browser to issue the same requests
as have been recorded by JMeter?

you're going to have to create a series of requests that reflect what
the applet would do. remember that Jmeter is a stress testing tool
primarily with some function testing features.

if you want a functional test for an applet, I would suggest using
some other tool.
