Off on a wild tangent unrelated to Webtest, but: Am I correct in interpreting this to mean that the ICEfaces framework requires clients to send a POST to a certain URL when they unload the page, to help prevent excessive memory usage?
That sounds like a pretty wacky design - you shouldn't build something serverside that will fail unless the client's browsers play nice. In other words, doesn't this mean someone could DOS an ICEfaces app simply by generating lots of http requests and never calling the /dispose-views URL? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Stefan Frenzel Sent: Tuesday, October 06, 2009 1:14 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Webtest] onunload Hi, I am load testing an ICEfaces application with WebTest. The tests succeed until the application server's JVM runs out of memory. The used heap is increasing continuously. Regarding to http://www.icefaces.org/JForum/posts/list/13140.page the JS onunload handler must be called to avoid a memory leak. Normally this is done by the browser when closing the page, etc. But does WebTest/HtmlUnit also take care of it? I started investigating the source code of HtmlUnit, however it seems to me that no such handler exists. There is the OnbeforeunloadHandler which is implemented only in a HtmlPageTest test case. I am using WebTest R_1768. I'll try to include a invoke step in my test to call http://<contextRoot>//block/dispose-views <http://%3ccontextRoot%3e/block/dispose-views>. Do you have any other suggestions?
