title: Tool suggestion for load testing a simple web page with submit button?
body: <p>I've written a simple order application that consists of a 1 page order-form containing a set of input fields and a submit button. The order form is loaded by invoking a URL (with data being passed via POST):</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://localhost:8080/orderform.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://localhost:8080/orderform.jsp</a></p>
  
  <p>The input fields of the order-form are populated with the POST data and whilst the form is loading there some server side processing taking place e.g. retrieving data from a database. Once the page has loaded and the submit button is clicked further server side processing takes place to process the order and then a receipt page is displayed to the user.</p>
  
  <p>I need a way to load test this simple process in order to ascertain the maximum throughput of the server.</p>
  
  <p>Any tool suggestions would be greatly appreciated.</p>
