One approach to stress testing if you have a Model 2 (action classes and
request
dispatcher) site is to take advantage of the architecture of the app for
testing
purposes. For example, if you have a front component servlet that takes an
HTTP
request and turns it into an Action object for processing, you can build a
custom
test app that simply generates Action objects and fires them at your
back-end processing.
You might be able to test the back-end path (where the bulk of your code is)
without
worrying about the front-end.
Not a perfect solution, but it might be a good start.

Subject: Re: Stress Testing your JSP Site
we've tested apache jmeter and also the microsoft web application stress
tool (i cant remember the exact name). the microsoft tool allows you to
record activity scripts, so it can be a bit easier.
the problem with such tools, however, is that we haven't found a way to
simulate real user activity effectively. we can copy an url with parms and
bang away at a particular page, but our app is based on action classes and
request dispatcher, which we haven't really gotten to work with an automated
tool. we always end up with session trouble. our pages do almost nothing
apart from display logic, so with such tools we're not currently able to
test the real workhorses of our app which are the classes that our action
objects control.
i'd be keen to hear anyone else's views / suggestions on this issue.
unfortunately, the best 'stress-testing' tool i've found so far is everybody
in the company hitting the app at once from differenct clients..
