openSTA - WAS RE: [Webtest] load tests with WebTest

[Goeschl Siegfried]

Using Jelly would give the advantage of having a full blown programming =
language at hand whereas scripting with ANT is always limited .... I =
just added a few ANT task with a "if" and "unless" clause. And iw would =
be quite easy to embed Canoo Webtest as Jelly Tag library ... :-)

The downside is the Jelly is, well, hard to use sometimes and a little =
bit buggy. I still haven't figured out complex if statements yet.  Last =
but not least you still have to support the existing ANT integration =
.... nobodyis keen to migrate tons of ANT scripts

hmm, Jelly is one of those animals that I am still having a hard time=20
figuring out (is that what the name indicates?).

I suppose in this case Jelly would take the place of ANT, right? What=20
would be the advantages?
