Hello all. I’m trying to load test a login page served by tomcat 6,
proxied through apache 2 with mod_proxy. I’m using JMeter 2.3.4 to
conduct the testing. My thread group consists of 500 sessions , and
the sample is a GET of a simple login page.

JMeter returns errors for a varying percentage of the samples. The
errors returned are generally the following:

at org .apache .jmeter .protocol.http.sampler.HTTPSamplerBase.sample(HTTPSamplerBase.java: 1037) at org .apache .jmeter .protocol.http.sampler.HTTPSamplerBase.sample(HTTPSamplerBase.java: 1023) at org .apache .jmeter.threads.JMeterThread.process_sampler(JMeterThread.java:346)
at org.apache.jmeter.threads.JMeterThread.run(JMeterThread.java:243)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)

The issues I’m having are twofold. I’m having difficulty determining
if these errors are coming from JMeter or Tomcat, as they’re displayed
in the response window of JMeter. The developers think the error is
coming from JMeter given the last few lines of the trace above.

The developers are correct.

Given that I'm not a programmer I should probably take their word for it,
but why would JMeter show this error as the response?

The system you are running JMeter on isn't able to handle the load.

Second, I've tried tweaking my process counts (startservers, maxspare,
etc...) with no change in the outcome. I can mitigate the issue by
pointing JMeter directly to tomcat, but I need this product to go
through our apache proxy for SSL.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

There must be some JMeter setting that will work otherwise you would be unable
to access the webapp over SSL from the system that is hosting JMeter.

Try reducing everything to a count of 1 in JMeter.

If that doesn't work, there is a problem with the SSL config in JMeter; google "jmeter ssl".

Otherwise, try spreading the load our across several JMeter instances installed on separate systems.
