Hi Kaspar,
- Is the application URL that needs to be given to ULC Load the same
as
the URL-string in the JNLP file if using web-start?
Yes
- We need to send a separate request to the server to set up an
environment before the ULC client is started. This is usually done
when
the JNLP file for the ULC application is requested by the client.
However, ULC Load does not request a JNLP file, if we understand
correctly, but rather starts the client directly, i.e. by
instantiating
and running a properly configured Recorder. To remedy this problem, we
think that we could write an own Recorder that issues a HTTP request
to
the server, triggering the initialization, and then continue with the
standard recorder once the response is received. Do you agree that
this
would work?
The Recorder is used to record a test scenario. The recorder is not
used to replay a test scenario. So I don't think that this will work
for your requirements.
- Since a Recorder is essentially equivalent to a Launcher, we can
pass
the same user-parameters to a Recorder as we can to a Launcher, right?
Yes. But see above, the Recorder is only used to record a test scenario.
Can you tell me more about your requirements? Thanx! This would help
me to find a solution for your issue.
* What is the content of the initial request send to the server?
* What is prepared on the server when this initial request is processed?
* How are subsequent (= ULC) requests connected to the initial request?
* What kind of user-parameters do you use?
* Is there a special logout / terminate session step (equivalent to
the initial request)?

Hi Janak
Thanks for your answer, it helped our understanding.
We don't deploy any ULC applications, so we don't use a web.xml. ULC
is
fully integrated into our own application server. When the first ULC
request arrives at our server, we instantiate a custom ULC
ServletContainerAdapter with a custom ULC ServletConfig. After that we
forward all of the following ULC requests to the ULC
ServletContainerAdapter.
I'd be glad if you could confirm the following assumptions that we
believe to be true:
- Is the application URL that needs to be given to ULC Load the same
as
the URL-string in the JNLP file if using web-start?

Thank you for clarifying those questions.
