My guess is you have all your errors because you try to create 500!!! threads. I never tried to create more than a 100. Actually each thread is supposed to be working as separate process, so count threads does not impact test durration but only test load (count of simultaneous connections). Test duration is by default unlimited, unless you limit it by one of controllers. P.S. If you do need to test heavy load (more than 100 simultaneous connection) I'd consider running Jmeter on a bunch of different boxes at the same time (even if box allows you to create 500 java threads you might have problems with system resources such as network sockets). -om [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Following on from my previous email, I am basically using jmeter to call a jsp which in turn calls a EJB method remotely. This is a dummy EJB and just outputs a string, ultimately though I would like to use jmeter on our actual J2EE app. We will also be using OptimizeIT to catch any performance issues that arise during this load testing. In order to test this I have it plugged into my weblogic server and am monitoring the results of my Jmeter tests. I have some issues with Jmeter that are more than likely down to me than the tool itself, I have detailed these below, if anyone could help it would be great. I can create the script no bother, and run it however: 1) I get a lot of exceptions in the jmeter console mainly ConnectExceptions mentioning the sockets. (I am not using hhtps only http), sometimes I get a netAddress or something I can't remember exactly as I cannot recreate one now I wan to know what it is. 2) I run my script, which is quite simple, but it only seems to last a second or two, I thought Jmeter would loop is this the case or will it only execute through the script once. 3) I have run my script with the threads set to 500. Does this mean it will test 500 threads total, if so how many is it doing at a time. And how can I increase the overall test duration or vary the simulated load? 4) After I have run my script, I cannot re-run it, I stop it, clear the visualizers and then run, and nothing happens. I suspect this could be to do with the exceptions I am encountering, but I have to keep exiting Jmeter then going back in. Is there anything that anyone recognises could be at fault here (aside from me :-) As I say my aim is to simulate a heavy load on the jsps/servlets so that I can monitor both the response times and also using OptimizeIT identify any bottlenecks in the code.
