Load Testing and BindException

Hello,

I am doing some simple Load Testing using SoapUI across to a Jax-ws/tomcat server. I am using the Simple strategy with 20 threads.

for some reason I see a:
17:47:39,023 ERROR [WsdlSubmit] Exception in request: java.lang.Exception: java.
net.BindException: Address already in use: connect

There is this nice link on this site:
http://www.eviware.com/content/view/65/44/
that explains how to modify the registry to get more client connections, etc.  but I can't see how I can possibly be running out of connections with only 20 threads?

Any ideas?

Also, it's my first time doing Load Testing/Test Suites with SoapUI and I just wanted to say what an awesome design on the steps, really liked it!!! 

thanks!

    Hi Irwin,


    Are you sure there's no other software consuming sockets on the machine where JAX-WS/Tomcat server is running?

    Apart from command-line tool netstat you can use other free tools like TcpView or TcpMon to verify what sockets are open on that machine.

    Regarding the nice design of load test creation wizard - thank you very much for the praise.


    Cheers!
