OpenSTA
It has its own scripting language. It shouldn't take a programmer too long to learn. You are able to validate pages fairly easily with this tool, so you can actually check that the correct pages and content are loading during the load test.
And it has its own forum on qaforums.com

Because of applet security, doesn't the database have to be on the same server that served the applet?

Never mind,
It was an applet security thing. The mysql db was on a different host as the one I was serving the applet from. I used the same host for both and it worked.

Hi,
I'm having trouble using the jdbc driver for mysql (the package is called mm.mysql.jdbc-1.2c) in an applet.
I wrote a short test applet that is supposed to select some records from a table and then display them in a List. However, I'm getting a ClassNotFoundException thrown when trying to instantiate the driver class.
I created a nearly identical class that is a Frame instead of an Applet and it works fine.
I've never used jdbc with an applet before. How do I get this to work?
Thanks,
John
Thanks Mike,
I think I'll go with JDBC.

Hi Gail,
You can setup security contraints for JSP files in the web.xml file for the web-app.
The best solution might be to setup Apache to recognize those files as ones to be protected, but I don't know how to do that.. :roll:

Madhav,
I think XML is where I'm headed next. I'll probably start studying in a week or two.. See you there!

Hi,

Can anyone tell me a good way to make the passwords in the tomcat-users.xml file (which are in plain text) more secure?
Thanks,
John

I haven't decided on the next step yet. XML, Websphere, SCJD, SCEA ?? So Many!
Congratulations Madhav!
I almost had a heart attack too when I saw all of that foreign writing. They really shouldn't have the time start until you've agreed. That is total B.S.

SCWCD (as of tonight too!)
I passed the SCWCD tonight! What a relief! I scored an 89%. I started studying about 6 weeks ago with no prior knowlege of Servlets or JSP. I studied about 2-3 hours a night.
To prepare for the exam I used the following resources:
1.Installed and got familiar with Tomcat 4.0
2.Read the fisrt four chapters of More Servlets (great intro to Servlets and JSP)
3. Read Ken Zrobok's notes
4. Read both of Miftah Khan's notes
5. Ersin Eser Deployment Descriptor aid
6. JSP 1.2 Syntax Card.
7. Took Eduardo Cobian's mock, Mika Hirvasoja's mock, the JavaRanch mock, Suns practice questions.
8. Read many posts on this BB.
I went through Ken's and Miftah's notes about 4 times each. I think you can pass with these alone . I knew a lot more about DTDs than I needed. It was on the test, just not as in depth as I thought it would be.
I thought some of the questions were out from left field. But since the questions I got wrong were evenly spread between the different areas, I can't pinpoint any hole in my studies to warn anyone about. Learn the notes cold...
Thanks to Ken Zrobok, Miftah Khan, Ersin Eser, Eduardo Cobian, Mika Hirvasoja, and everyone who posts to this site.

GenericServlet implements ServletConfig, so HttpServlet should have getServletContext()

I did not use any other resources to prepare for the test. I didn't have access to an Oracle DB either! I was hoping that the book would be enough. It was, but barely. If I got two more questions wrong, I would have failed! However, I didn't study very long (less then 2 weeks).
