Go to the first request if response contains some fixed text.

[Ch...@labware.com]

Dear All,
                    Our test script is very much dependent on regular 
expression extractors. The parameterization goes awry if from any of the 
responses the RE extractor doesn't return the correct values. Some times 
responses to any of the requests in the test script is returning an html 
page with fixed html in it. We know that if this happens , it means that 
the user has to start a new session with the browser. ( which means that 
start over again from the first request to the server in case of 
jmeter).So far , if this happens, the test has been stopping because the 
subsequent requests are not  getting parameterized properly.This is 
basically preventing the test to run for ever.
                     Now I would like to script a real life scenario. I 
want to do the following:

1.I would like to add assertion to every request to check for the Fixed 
String in every response. 
2. If the assertion results in a response  that contains that Fixed String 
, instead of proceeding further with subsequent requests, I would like 
that thread to start over again,meaning that I want to send the very first 
request to the server as if the user has started a new session.

My questions are :

Is it possible with Jmeter?
If yes, can some one show me the way and point me to the  elements that 
can be used to achieve the above ?

Just add the Assertion at the same level (or above) the samplers.

http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/build-test-plan.html#scoping_rules

Very difficult, if not impossible at present.

The only way I can think of at present to achieve this would be to
enclose each sampler - apart from the first - in an If Controller
which is set to skip the sample if an error has occurred.

Very tedious to implement, but it might work.
