OpenSTA is similar to WebLoad, and has worked fairly well in the past. It does not appear to be cross-platform though, a fact I didn't know until 10 seconds ago. http://www.opensta.org/
I'm a little confused with what your trying to accomplish, based on some of the things you named below... are you trying to do stress testing or unit (functional) testing? There is usually some overlap between the two, but by and large things like httpclient, Rhino and HTTPUnit tend to be more functinoal testing than stress testing. OpenSTA and WebLoad are more stress (load) testing. Like I said, there is some overlap. -- Frank W.
