[ptt-users] Performance Kit or Test kit for Apache Tomcat/Axis?

[Norm Dressler]

By using a script to pull dynamic data, will the nodes/processes be able
to process several thousand lookups and simulate 200 users?  I imagine I
would need several test nodes but I'm looking to get enough random data
lookups to not only test the SOAP response times but it will also test
the application and database response times.

Could I just as easily write this in Python as opposed to Groovy?  What
other scripting languages are supported?  I know Perl very well, as an
example.

Thanks
Norm
