Web Framework benchmkark

Overview

This benchmark has been created to measure performance differences between JbossWeb (EAP6.4.9) and Undertow (EAP7.0.0)

The benchmark uses the Faban framework to drive load from multiple client machines to the System Under Test (SUT). Faban orchestrates the execution of benchmark methods across multiple clients, collates are calculates the system results.

A web servlet is hosted on the SUT. The Web servlet responds to GET HTTP requests, calculates a hash, the length based on a http parameter passed to the servlet and returns the result to the calling client.

Variable length response are created depending on the client request
