Web Apps on MidTier. How is it rendered?

2007-01-20 Thread John Baker
Mikhail,

The rendering of forms through the Midtier is done through absolutely 
positioned HTML and an awful lot of Javascript (read ClientCore.js). There 
are no forms, as such, just a set of HTML elements with Javascript events 
attached to them. When some kind of push fields or submit occurs, the data is 
passed back to the Midtier through an AJAX call. Hence, if you're trying to 
look for a form that's submitted, you're not going to find it. 

If you want to do some load testing then use a tool such as Winrunner 
and 'record' a sequence of events, before playing it back with a number of 
concurrent users. Given the JVM 256megs of ram as the default heap size is 
64megs (if I recall) - you can do this with the -Xmx256m command line option, 
if I recall correctly. I'm sure we'd all be interested to how many concurrent 
users the Midtier can handle!

I have a list of items that could be addressed in order to make the Midtier 
much faster, but that's a little out of scope for this post.

Web Apps on MidTier. How is it rendered?

2007-01-19 Thread Mikhail Serate
Hello List,
I would really like to know how the web applications on MidTier is being
rendered? Is it using Javascript? Reason I'm asking is that I'm trying to do
some load/performance testing on the applications on midtier using open
source testing tools. However I think the web apps on midtier is a special
case. Any other regular form can be perfomance-tested very easily.
If anyone can point me to any resource out there, or better yet, an open
source testing tool that is compatible with remedy, please let me know..
Thanks,
