>What would be "good assertions" in this case?
Anything that determines that your page is as it should be. Typically there
is a title/header that is unique to the page (or some combination). May also
be something like  the standard error message shown shouldn't be there. This
is application specific. Anything that gives you reasonable confidence that
the right page was reached.


>Do you know a link that explains how can I extract this string using a
post-processor and regex/xpath extractor?
http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/component_reference.html#Regular_Expression_Extractor
http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/regular_expressions.html
for an example (using google!)
http://cwiki.apache.org/WICKET/wicket-and-jmeter-with-regular-expressions.html

In your case something like
RefName= varCacheUrl
Regex =  wb=['"]([^'"]*)['"]
Template=$1$
MatchNo=1
DEFAULT_VALUE=failed

and in request3 you could use /MainPortal/${varCacheUrl} //same as ref name
defined above
You can also use debug sampler + view results tree listener after request2
so that you can see that your regex ran correctly and extracted the value
into the variable defined by ref name


>Is the post processor a child of the second http request?
Yes it should be a child of the request whose response you want to parse (in
your case)


Testing AJAX apps is a degree more difficult in JMeter family of testing
tools (non browser driven)
