I have successfully used JMeter (http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/index.html). It takes a little while to get a test plan set up, but works pretty well.
A couple of suggestions: 1. Run it from a machine with 'lots' of horsepower (memory, processor, bandwidth) as it does tend to drag the workstation down. 2. The swing component is (as usual) a hog. I would suggest creating your test plan using the GUI, then bump up the threads/iterations, save the test plan, and run the final JMeter test from the command line. I recently used JMeter to do some load testing between two Tomcat servers (one on Linux, one on W2K). I found I got better results when I ran them from a high horsepower box instead of my workstation, as my PC couldn't keep up with the threads. Just my two cents.....
