[S2] Load Testing and number of sessions
Hey all,
It's getting pretty close to that magical time, production day.
So I am starting to get a little anxious about what kind of limits my
Struts 2 app will run up against. Is there any good way to determine
what kind of user load I will start maxing out with? Is there an open
source load test tool for webapps that you all might recommend.
Something that I can use to simulate hundreds of signed in users at the
same time? I'm just more curious what has worked for you all before I
try a couple of things here. Right now we are slated to run 2 servers,
each with 1 instance of tomcat, and some basic load balancing down to
divvy up requests to the separate machines.

This sounds as exciting as your first kiss! Have you looked at HttpUnit?

I've used JMeter [1] pretty extensively and Grinder [2] has also been
recommended to me, but I haven't used it.
As to what you'll "max out" with that is incredibly application-dependent. I
hope it's not *really* close to launch, though... load testing is not
something that should be put off.
