Web Performance TrainerTM supports the recording of business cases that contain applets and Active-X components that communicate to the back-end through HTTP. Because the only reliable way to get through a firewall is to use HTTP, most do support some form of HTTP tunneling. Note that custom data such as serialized objects that can be sent through HTTP-tunneling can not be parsed by the software, so that on playback there's no way to do dynamic data replacement. Note that purpose of Web Performance Trainer is to do load testing on your web server, not the browser, so the applets themselves are not being tested. When recording Applets or Active-X, configure the browser to use Web Performance TrainerTM as a proxy server. The applet will connect to Web Performance TrainerTM and the communication between the applet and the web server can be recorded. Note that with theJava Plug-In there is a separate proxy control. Check out our demo applet to see how Web Performance Trainer records data between an applet and web server, allows you to examine the data flow, and plays it back!
