hi, I wanted to test my app (using Xwork/Webwork2) under extreme load conditions. So I hit the server (Jetty) with a few concurrent clients (grinder3.0) and from time to time I get this Exception, which I never got before when testing single requests (see below).
And why is it calling something Jasper/JSP related if I'm not using any kind of JSP and only Velocity? I understand that for velocity tags to work in JSP you might need some integration, but If I don't want to use any JSP related stuff, should I be forced to go throught Jsp Writers and all that? Maybe that's why Webwork1.x is faster that ww2.... !? I tested in the same conditions an older version of Webwork2 (from CVS, before beta2) and this Exception doesn't happen at all. So I checked what was the difference, and I found out that in that old VelocityResult (that doesn't throw this Exception) it's not used the javax.servlet.jsp.PageContext to merge the template (this is a change introduced in version 1.3 by Patrick), and it just writes it directly to response.getWriter(). So, why is this being thrown when using the ...jsp.PageContext. I assume that it probably depends on the JSP engine used. Has anybody tested this new VelocityResult under high concurrency conditions when using JASPER (which I believe is provided with TOMCAT & JETTY) ? Very curious about this one, since it IS a problem I want to eliminate.
