Hi Volker,

I'm quite new to jmeter, where should I attach the RegexExtractor? Under
threadGroup?

I've tried putting the extractor on the threadgroup where my samplers
reside, and set the javax.faces.ViewState params with ${jsf_viewid} but
it doesn't work? Did I miss something? I wanna know the details of
attaching the extractor in my samplers, can you pls. explain it more.

How does the extractor address the dynamic html IDS (not the viewState)
being generated by the JSF? For instance, I have the following response
html from a datatable:

<tr class=3D"standardTable_Row1">
	<td width=3D"15%">123456789</td>
	<td width=3D"15%">abc@a.com </td>
	<td width=3D"15%">abc@a.org</td>
	<td width=3D"15%">OK : goodFiles\file04.TIF</td>
	<td width=3D"15%">
        <a id=3D"list:aList:0:_id52" name=3D"list:aList:0:_id52"
href=3D"a.html?id=3D4" target=3D"newWindow">4</a>            // HREF ONE
      </td>
	<td class=3D"date" width=3D"20%">25 Sep 2007</td>
	<td class=3D"symbol" width=3D"15%"><img src=3D"/images/check.png"
alt=3D"Yes"/></td>
	<td class=3D"symbol" width=3D"10%">
		<a
href=3D"/pages/a/list.html?aList:_idcl=3Dlist:aList:0:_id70&amp;aList
_SUBMIT=3D1&amp;a_id=3D5103&amp;" id=3D"list:aList:0:_id70" =
class=3D"rollover
view">View</a> // HREF TWO
	</td>
</tr>

How would JMETER which to execute HREF ONE or HREF TWO, given on a
multi-user setup for threadGroup?

Thanks for your help...

Hi Bryan,

yes it is possible, i'm currently doing this with a tobago app.

My app uses server-side state saving, i think this ViewState Extractor
from the wiki is
for client-side state saving, so i have two different extractors:

      <RegexExtractor guiclass=3D"RegexExtractorGui"
testclass=3D"RegexExtractor" testname=3D"ViewState jsf_tree Extractor"
enabled=3D"true">
        <stringProp =
name=3D"RegexExtractor.useHeaders">false</stringProp>
        <stringProp =
name=3D"RegexExtractor.refname">jsf_tree</stringProp>
        <stringProp name=3D"RegexExtractor.regex">&lt;input
type=3D\\?&quot;hidden\\?&quot; name=3D\\?&quot;jsf_tree\\?&quot;
id=3D\\?&quot;jsf_tree\\?&quot;
value=3D\\?&quot;(.+?)\\?&quot;</stringProp>
        <stringProp name=3D"RegexExtractor.template">$1$</stringProp>
        <stringProp name=3D"RegexExtractor.default"></stringProp>
        <stringProp name=3D"RegexExtractor.match_number"></stringProp>
      </RegexExtractor>

      <RegexExtractor guiclass=3D"RegexExtractorGui"
testclass=3D"RegexExtractor" testname=3D"ViewState jsf_viewid Extractor"
enabled=3D"true">
        <stringProp =
name=3D"RegexExtractor.useHeaders">false</stringProp>
        <stringProp
name=3D"RegexExtractor.refname">jsf_viewid</stringProp>
        <stringProp name=3D"RegexExtractor.regex">&lt;input
type=3D&quot;hidden&quot; name=3D&quot;jsf_viewid&quot;
id=3D&quot;jsf_viewid&quot; value=3D&quot;(.+?)&quot;</stringProp>
        <stringProp name=3D"RegexExtractor.template">$1$</stringProp>
        <stringProp name=3D"RegexExtractor.default"></stringProp>
        <stringProp name=3D"RegexExtractor.match_number"></stringProp>
      </RegexExtractor>


If you don't change the relevant parts of your views dynamically you
should be able to use the jmeter proxy to record the request and than
edit the parameters to replace the jsf_tree and jsf_viewid values with
the extracted.
