There are books specifically relating to Java testing/tuning.  One that I like is:
"Performance Analysis for Java Websites" (Joines, Willenborg, Hygh)

For a more general approach,
check out Scott Barber's http://www.perftestplus.com
In the 'Resources' section, he has a lot of good writing that is worth looking at.

Microsoft has been creating a body of knowledge available at: http://www.codeplex.com/PerfTesting
It has some really good information and they are actively adding to it.  Most of it is obviously geared towards .NET and their proprietary VSTS tools, but it also contains a lot of general information that can be applied to any system or tool set. 

.. though most of this stuff deals more with methodology than technical specifics.

If you come up with a good report and are able to, post it to this list :)
