If you're already into JUnit and Cactus, you can use JUnitPerf to decorate existing JUnit tests for performance and scalability testing.

The following example runs the "testSomething" test case method with a 10 concurrent user load.  Each user runs the test case method 5 times.  The load
test is in turn decorated as a timed test that fails if the total elapsed time of the load test exceeds 10 seconds.

    public static Test suite() {

        int maxUsers = 10;
        int iterations = 5;
        long maxElapsedTime = 10000;

        Test testCase = new YourTestCase("testSomething");
        Test loadTest = new LoadTest(testCase, maxUsers, iterations);
        Test timedTest = new TimedTest(loadTest, maxElapsedTime);

        TestSuite suite = new TestSuite();
        suite.addTest(timedTest);

        return suite;
    }

JUnitPerf is open source and available at:
