In my script, I'm using a JSESSIONID instead of a cookie; the JSESSIONID is=
 extracted using a HTTP URL Re-writing Modifier and I can confirm that the =
correct value (the one which appears in the response data from the login pa=
ge) is being applied in the Request.
e.g. POST https://qa67.ososinfo.org:446/Staff/staffdetail.xhtml;JSESSIONID=
=3D0655ca5420354753ae413984d34cfc27

I'm also using a VIEWSTATE, which I'm extracting prior to running the remai=
nder of the test steps by using a Regular Expression Extractor and setting =
the resulting variable as a parameter in the HTTP Request,
e.g. javax.faces.ViewState=3D8d2%2BgOIseczB2FWSo74DqQfkmiYVaK73D8bnLTNWCx%2=
FB8EtE

The problem is that I'm hitting a Response code: 500 | Response message: In=
ternal Server Error every time I attempt a post with all of the applicable =
data.

I tried running through the steps manually in a Firefox browser. I copied t=
he contents of the Request tab from the failing page into a REST client, lo=
gged in using a separate tab of the same browser and grabbed the appropriat=
e JSESSIONID and VIEWSTATE information, then posted with that info in place=
 - and the manual post was successful.

Am I missing something? Is JMeter requiring something to accomplish this PO=
ST that a I'm not seeing in a manual attempt?

Happy to share any/all of what I'm seeing if it might be helpful in helping=
 to troubleshoot.

Thanks,
Kurt
