My previous blog entry on "Debugging Webservices" spurred lot of interest and I received mails from many people with lots of questions, pointers, asking help etc.
Many seem to be happy using the SoapUI. Thanks guys!
One of my friends asked me a straight question - aren't you using JMeter to do performance testing of the web services. This was very flat and I wasn't aware that JMeter can be used to load test the WS. There is some tweaking that needs to be done - place mail.jar and activation.jar files in the lib of the JMeter to get the menus and the options displayed correctly. The rest of the setup is similar to any other JMeter configuration. Setup the number of threads, ramp-up period and loop count and hit start. The results will be displayed in a crisp graph.
If you haven't been using JMeter, it is high time you start using it. If you need any help in setting up JMeter WS, send me an email at ravisk@gmail.com.

Thanks for your nice comments on soapui :-) as you already pointed out, soapui does loadtesting just as jmeter but is more "focused" on web-services than jmeter, which on the other hand is a great tool for general load-testing tasks
We have a jmeter-soapui comparison on our site, and a post regarding the results on our blog.. have a look!
regards!
