Any help/hint is appreciated. thnx This sounds like something you could write yourself as a relatively simple webapp: 1. Write an HTTP recorder filter. Configure it as the first filter that gets run for any request. Wrap the request object with one that records the input stream coming in, say, to a file. Wrap the response with one that records the output to another file. Your request object can link these two files any way it wants. You probably want to do something like use Content-Length + SHA1(request) as a key to the request that you store for later. 2. Run your application through this filter to generate some test data. 3. Write a servlet that does nothing but read requests, hash them, look up the "test response" from your database of responses, and dump the response back to the client. You'll have to watch out for a few things: 1. The recorded response is not directly playable because it includes things like the status header, which you can't send twice. So you'll have to record the status header and set it appropriately instead of just writing content. 2. Similar to #1, you have to send headers using setHeader() instead of just writing to the output stream, because the output stream is used solely for the response body. 3. If your requests include bodies, you might want to pre-process the requests to account for varying amounts of whitespace, etc. In thinking about #1 and #2 above, I think a change to the "recorder" is in order: you probably want to store the headers, status code, etc. specially instead of just as text in your recorded file. This will make it easier to "play back" the response. Hope that helps, - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkmcfiwACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PBdqQCgs8PYXOm4U6f2oD+ejQVkHvFQ QRMAoJJCjhY8XRJX2n9tMDwjIewvtK27 =6R37 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
