How to handle jsessionid as path parameter instead of cookie in JMeter?

[Nguyen Dao <mr...@gmail.com>]

Hi everyone,

*MY PROBLEM:*
The JSF application on Tomcat 5.x that I have been asked to load-test
disables cookie; it gets the jsessionid from the path parameter.

When a user hits a protected resource, he/she is directed a login page whose
url is appended with ";jsessionid=somehexvalue".  This jsessionid will then
be appended to all following requests.  Submitting a request with a
different jsessionid value will cause a new login session.

As such, the "HTTP Cookie Manager" Config Element can not be used.

*QUESTIONS:*
Is there another Config Element that I could use?
Any suggestions?

Thank you,
Nguyen Dao

Jose,

I could not get HTTP URL Re-writing Modifier to work, but the suggested
Regular Expression Extractor works just fine.  So, thank you.

Jose,
Thank you for your answer.  I came across HTTP URL Re-writing Modifier in
the document and it seems like this may work without much customization, so
I will try the HTTP URL Re-writing Modifier first, and try your suggestions
if that failed.  In any case, thank you for your help.

Thanks,
Nguyen

Do you tried with Regular Expressions?

You can extract the jsession value from the URL and then use it as
parameter....

I hope it helps.
