To build:
    Building this requires a JavaEE application server that supplies
    servlet, JPA, and EJB interfaces.
    You must set the following environment variables:
    JAVAX_PERSISTENCE=/path_to/javax.persistence.jar
    JAVAX_EJB=/path_to/javax.ejb-api.jar
    JAVAX_SERVLET=/path_to/javax.servlet-api.jar

To deploy:
    Set up and configure a JavaEE application server. Even if you
    intend only to use the mock entity manager, the application server must
    define a JDBC data source with the name StockDB.

    Deploy to any JavaEE application server.  For a simple deployment with
    glassfish, copy the jars/StockEar.ear to the glassfish domain's
    autodeploy directory.

    If you want to use the mock entity manager, configure the app server
    to use
    -DMockEntityManager=MockEntityManager
    as one of its JVM parameters (along with whatever parameters you are
    interested in testing)

Notes on Examples:

Example 4-3
    Deploy the ear file with the mock entity manager enabled, and then use
    your favorite load generating tool to send requests to
    http://host:port/StockEar-war/StockServlet

    For fhb, the following parameters were used:
    0 second warmup: -r 0/60/10 -c 1 -J-Dfhb.http.provider=sun url
    60 second warmup: -r 60/60/10 -c 1 -J-Dfhb.http.provider=sun url
    300 second warmup: -r 300/60/10 -c 1 -J-Dfhb.http.provider=sun url

Example 5-2
    Deploy the ear file with the mock entity manager enabled, and then use
    your favorite load generating tool to send requests to (e.g., to save
    the previous 10 entries)
    http://host:port/StockEar-war/StockServlet?save=10

    Make sure that the application server is configured with the appropriate
    GC parameters and has at least 4 threads in the default thread pool. Also
    make sure that the load generator establishes a session for each client
    thread and maintains it through the test (fhb will do that automatically).

Example 5-3
    As in Example 5-2, with varying numbers for the save parameter. The
    difference here is that the client threads in the load generator should
    be set to have a 250ms delay between requests. With fhb, that is
    achieved by including -W 250 in the command line.

Example 6-1 and 6-2
    Configure as for the examples in Chapter 5. In 6-1, no save parameter
    is given in the URL; in 6-2, save=50 is specified in the parameter.
    Configure the application server to have different heap sizes and
    different values for MaxGCPauseMillis and/or MaxGCRatio.

Example 9-2
    Configure the thread pool of the application server to have the
    desired number of maximum threads. The load generator is set up to
    have 20 clients (e.g., in fhb, -c 20) with no think time (no -W argument).

Example 9-3
    Configure the thread pool of the application server to have the
    same number of threads as the target machine. Configure the number of
    clients in the load generator as given in the example (e.g., up to
    -c 64 for fhb).

Example 10-1
    This test requires that the application server be set up on various
    remote networks.

    For the whitespace removed test, configure the application to trim
    whitespace from the JSP pages. In glassfish, edit the
    config/default-web.xml file and add this XML to the 
    org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet definition:
    <init-param>
        <param-name>trimSpaces</param-name>
        <param-name>true</param-name>
    </init-param>

    To turn development mode off for glassfish, add this definition:
    <init-param>
        <param-name>development</param-name>
        <param-name>false</param-name>
    </init-param>

    To pre-encode Strings for glassfish, add this definition:
    <init-param>
        <param-name>genStrAsCharArray</param-name>
        <param-name>true</param-name>
    </init-param>

    Glassfish will support compression without any changes,  but the load
    generator must be set to send the accept-string: gzip (or other
    compression level) header with the request. For fhb, that is accomplished
    by adding -z gzip to the command line.

Example 10-2:
    Configure (through the administration console or other means) the desired
    EJB pool size. The sleep time for the PostConstruct method (which defaults
    to 0) can be set via the system property -DEJBSleepTime=10 (e.g., for
    10 milliseconds).
