A basic web application to test the memory profile of the Thymeleaf Layout Dialect.

To execute the benchmark, use ./gradlew benchmark from the command line. This will start the test application, then execute the JMeter test plan over it.

Once completed, JMeter's HTML reports can be found in build/reports/(dialect-version)/(date-time-of-run).

To include YourKit profiling for memory snapshots, then the agent needs to be loaded with the web application via the -agentpath VM argument. eg: on MacOS:

-agentpath:"/Applications/YourKit Java Profiler 2015.app/Contents/Resources/bin/mac/libyjpagent.jnilib"

From version 2.5.0 of the layout dialect, this benchmark is now included as a subproject with the layout dialect. For benchmarking older versions, this repo is still the way to do it.
