Dear Sebb, Thanks for your reply. :)
My program is just a jsf page with parameters passed into the browser URL e.g. http://localhost:8080/webapp1/index.jsf?param1=a¶m2=b. It does not have a subsequent page (, however, inside the same index.jsf page it makes various background request to query & download contents for various parts of the page). Since I don't have a "next page", what should I do with the ViewState? I want the load testing to simulate my real web application as much as possible. A large part of the time in running my web app is in initializing the webcontext and loading various javascript files. However, when I use HTTP Proxy to record my query above, it only recorded a bunch of PNG files. So do I just need to put extra stuffs in the include section? At the moment, if I run a load test just base on those recorded PNG file downloads, wouldn't it excludes the time it needs to initialize the JSF context, downloading the js libraries files, and also the time latency due to the necessary backend processing to produce the results (such as database query)? If I want to load test a complete run of my JSF web application (that includes all the initializations and the backend query processing time), can I use the HTTP Proxy to record that? Any insights will be greatly appreciated as this is my first time to play around with JMeter :) Anthony sebb-2-2 wrote: > > On 20/02/2009, anthonymak <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> Help~ >> >> I am trying to test a JSF page by following: >> http://wiki.apache.org/myfaces/PerformanceTestingWithJMeter >> >> However, when I tried to "record your request/response streams" as the >> above >> page suggest, I used a HTTP Proxy to do that.
