Extracting sessionid's from previously queried POST methods
Hi
I have a following sequence of HTTP Post requests :
-- Post request 1 (Does not return anything for me to extract)
-- Post request 2 (Does not return anything for me to extract)
-- Post request 3 (Here my client asks for session id by doing something
like this : serviceName=GetSession)
-- Post request 4 (Here it posts to the server with some session id like
"=*sessionid*&agentid"
All the subsequent POST requests are important for me as i pass some
values which results in data storage in the DB. I need to extract the
string : *sessionid *which is present between the '=' and '&' characters.
Please tell me how to go about this using JMeter.
Thanks
Jatin

Posted by Jatin Davey <ja...@cisco.com>.
Got it , Thanks Deepak , Sebb and Adrian. Extracted the session id and
able to add data using JMeter with dynamically changing session id's.
This would serve me to model lot more things in my tests.
Thanks

<Sessionid>
yes , but you still need an extractor.The regex would work as well - though
you'd have to change the regex something like <Sessionid>([^<]*)<

[Jatin] I will try with XPath extractor and let you know if i am
successful in doing so.

[Jatin] what i meant here is that in XML we have a Tag which is for
Sessionid and enclosing these tags only we get the session id that i
need to extract. So i thought it is the value assigned to that field
which is tagged as <Sessionid>. Apologies for my ignorance in XML if i
am wrong.

Re: Extracting sessionid's from previously queried POST methods
Posted by Deepak Shetty <sh...@gmail.com>.

session id
The output is the same in all cases , what you are doing in the results tree
is just changing the way it is displayed to you. This has no bearing on how
you extract the data. The responses you have shown show that the value is
XML in which case the Regex Extractor (which works with any text response
including XML) or the XPath Extractor (which works with XML or HTML with
tidy) would be appropriate.
LiveHTTPHeaders would only show you request and response headers. What you
are looking at here is the body of the response. The headers should match in
Firefox and JMeter.

expression is needed here
Im not sure what you mean here. What do you mean by assigned to a field? If
this session id is unique and is generated differently, then you must
extract it out (since you would probably need it for the next request ). if
you mean that the session id is stored in some hidden field in the form ,
you have to extract it and post it yourself, since JMeter would not
automatically do it for you. The Proxy Server would record and repost the
session id that was valid when you recorded the script, it would fail if you
replayed the script without changing the session id to be dynamically
extracted.

Re: Extracting sessionid's from previously queried POST methods
Posted by Jatin Davey <ja...@cisco.com>.
Ok, Now i am nearing to my solution. I used the HTTP Proxy server and
recorded a series of HTTPS Get and Post requests and came to the POST
method that would respond back with the unique session id for me to
catch using the regular expression. But here is the catch. When i sent
out this mail earlier asking for a regular expression i was using HTTP
Live Headers add on with firefox but now when i used the same HTTP Post
methods with JMeter and recording the results using the results tree
listener i am getting the following things in the response data field:
-- When viewed as a Text
<ServiceResponse><ServiceResult>OK</ServiceResult><SessionId>6f041446-bf5b-46c8-ae49-b410b80d3d7d</SessionId></ServiceResponse>
-- When viewed as HTML
OK 6f041446-bf5b-46c8-ae49-b410b80d3d7d
-- When viewed as XML
- ServiceResponse
- ServiceResult
- OK
- Sessionid
- 6f041446-bf5b-46c8-ae49-b410b80d3d7d
-- When viewed as JSON
<ServiceResponse><ServiceResult>OK</ServiceResult><SessionId>6f041446-bf5b-46c8-ae49-b410b80d3d7d</SessionId></ServiceResponse>
Please let me know which of these outputs should i rely to extract my
session id , Also i feel that my session id is a unique value assigned
to a field so the value of the field is enough to extract in this case
and no regular expression is needed here. Please correct me if i am wrong.
Thanks

Ok , I read through the user manual and came to understand that i need

Hi Sebb
You mentioned the following :
Also, attach the RE element as a child of the sampler that returns
the session id
in the mail thread below.
Did you mean the post - processor - Regular Expression Extractor. Please
confirm.
Thanks

Re: Extracting sessionid's from previously queried POST methods

i'm a bit rookie with the regex, but this one seems pretty easy, use this
expression:
ref_name: extractedSessionId
regex: "=(.+)&
template: $1$
match: 1
default: whatever
if you call ${extractedSessionId} you will receive your sessionid including
the " characters from your example.
this has been discussed recently, the (.+) formula is sloppy, you should
match whatever you know should be in the id, but it's should work in your
case. (for example, you could use [a-z]+ instead of .+ if there are only
lower case alphabetical characters in the session id)
