I think that's all it was intended for. Nothing fancy, just a simple
'stress test'. It has been noted on several occasions by the JServ folks
that it is NOT a benchmarking tool. AFAIK, it does not do anything else.

Check the web server logs.

Not that I know of.
In trying to found out how fast the Apache/JServ/MyApp combo is, I have
found that JMeter is merely for stress testing, because I do not have enough
hardware for the Java overhead of JMeter to really stress the web server
out. I recently installed redhat 6.0, and ab (apache benchmark), which
comes with apache on Unix variants, is much better at pounding the pavement.
I am still on a quest to find a web-load, stress-testing tool that allows
cookies, can be directed to log in, go through my application with random
data entry/selection, and do it well, all without costing as much as a new
Mercedes. As you can see, I have not yet found it.
