Is there a way to get a HTTP end user monitor to log into a website to make sure the java web app behind login is working?
Anyone done this?
Hi,
Have you tried the HTTP Form Login component?
It is supposed to do what you described.
HTH,

I have tried that one I think it is for an HTML form only.
Mine I believe is a java page as the file extension ends in JSP.
Another solution could be to write your own script which authenticates and check that the page after the login step is returned.
Windows Script Monitor in APM allows you to execute such scripts on regular basis.
The JSP extension doesn't mean the page is using Java. It means the page is generated using Java on the server. You should still have HTML in the browser (as opposed to a Java Applet).
See en.wikipedia.org/.../JavaServer_Pages for more information on JSP.
I do but if I view the source code on the page it is blank.
You don't mean completely blank, do you? If so, that's not possible. Scroll down further (maybe a lot further) in the page because there should be at least some lines of source code there.
Ah ha, you are right. It was several pages down. Let me work with that. Thanks for that tid bit.
This is as far as I can get on it.
I am not a programmer so I am not sure what this means exactly. I would think I am on the right track but I am not sure what the errors means.

Clearly, the HTTP Form Login component is seeing two forms and can't figure out which is the correct login form. It seems that it unsuccessfully tried logging in using the first form. Perhaps you could configure the component to make an attempt on the second form to see if it has any success.
