Re: JSF perf test with JMeter, possible?

[Volker Weber]

Hi Bryan,

yes it is possible, i'm currently doing this with a tobago app.

My app uses server-side state saving, i think this ViewState Extractor
from the wiki is
for client-side state saving, so i have two different extractors:

      <RegexExtractor guiclass="RegexExtractorGui"
testclass="RegexExtractor" testname="ViewState jsf_tree Extractor"
enabled="true">
        <stringProp name="RegexExtractor.useHeaders">false</stringProp>
        <stringProp name="RegexExtractor.refname">jsf_tree</stringProp>
        <stringProp name="RegexExtractor.regex">&lt;input
type=\\?&quot;hidden\\?&quot; name=\\?&quot;jsf_tree\\?&quot;
id=\\?&quot;jsf_tree\\?&quot;
value=\\?&quot;(.+?)\\?&quot;</stringProp>
        <stringProp name="RegexExtractor.template">$1$</stringProp>
        <stringProp name="RegexExtractor.default"></stringProp>
        <stringProp name="RegexExtractor.match_number"></stringProp>
      </RegexExtractor>

      <RegexExtractor guiclass="RegexExtractorGui"
testclass="RegexExtractor" testname="ViewState jsf_viewid Extractor"
enabled="true">
        <stringProp name="RegexExtractor.useHeaders">false</stringProp>
        <stringProp name="RegexExtractor.refname">jsf_viewid</stringProp>
        <stringProp name="RegexExtractor.regex">&lt;input
type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;jsf_viewid&quot;
id=&quot;jsf_viewid&quot; value=&quot;(.+?)&quot;</stringProp>
        <stringProp name="RegexExtractor.template">$1$</stringProp>
        <stringProp name="RegexExtractor.default"></stringProp>
        <stringProp name="RegexExtractor.match_number"></stringProp>
      </RegexExtractor>


If you don't change the relevant parts of your views dynamically you
should be able to use the jmeter proxy to record the request and than
edit the parameters to replace the jsf_tree and jsf_viewid values with
the extracted.
