Testing a thick client with mid tier
I am attempting to load test a thick client that sends http requests to a mid
tier.
I was wondering if this is possible with Jmeter and how I would set the
system up to achieve this.

No idea. Never heard of JView.
Seems to me that this is a question for the JView community.
If the thick client can be persuaded to use a proxy, you should be
able to use the JMeter proxy to record the test, in the same way as
browsers can be recorded by telling them to use the JMeter proxy.
I suggest you experiment with recording a browser session first.
If you can't persuade the thick client to use a proxy, and it does not
have tracing facilities, then you will need a protocol analyser such
as WireShark.

That does not look like you are configuring a proxy, just a different
target host.
Which is not at all the same, as how does the proxy know where to
forward the request?
But you need to ask about that on the JView list.

Sebb,
thanks for your response.
The system sends http requests from the thick client to the mid tier.
I do not need to test the thick client but I do need to load/ performance
test the mid tier and database tier.
looking at Jview I though that it might be possible to set up Jview as a
proxy and record the calls by listening to the port then replaying them
under load.
I am crazy or is this not possible?
The issue I seem to have is that I cannot get the config file to point to
the proxy.
for example i tried changing the following
<endpoint address="http://vgdev04:1913/CommitteeService.asmx"
binding="basicHttpBinding"
bindingConfiguration="CommitteeServiceSoap"
contract="ORCommittee.CommitteeServiceSoap"
name="CommitteeServiceSoap" />
<endpoint address="http://vgdev04:1913/TurnAndSectionService.asmx"
to
<endpoint address="http://localhost:9090/CommitteeService.asmx"
binding="basicHttpBinding"
bindingConfiguration="CommitteeServiceSoap"
contract="ORCommittee.CommitteeServiceSoap"
name="CommitteeServiceSoap" />
<endpoint address="http://vgdev04:1913/TurnAndSectionService.asmx"
any ideas

Depends entirely on how the thick client is controlled.
If it is GUI-based, then JMeter cannot be used out-of-the-box, as it
does not support tesing of GUI applications.
But of course you can add your own sampler that does anything that is
automatable.
