Jacob - I think this is just a typo in the email however you are using #{} and not #() correct? I believe that the sessioncookie would need to be a dynamic property which is designated with a #{} syntax.

Just checking. I really don't know why there's such a problem with cookie handling. I'm still scratching my head over the redirection question you had earlier.

cheers ian

Although it may seem that I am using multiple testspecs, I am only using one
testspec with multiple page hits.

In a nutshell, I have a login.jsp page which requires 2 cookies to be present at
the client-level. In order to accomplish this, I have my testspec hit home.jsp
which transfers the cookies to the client. The testspec then navigates to
login.jsp with the appropriate cookies. I have changed log4j.properties to be in
debug-mode, and I can see that the cookies are accepted when they originally hit
home.jsp. However, they are not stored so that they can be used on login.jsp.

I found the following page which explains how to use "storeCookie" : http://webtest-community.canoo.com/wiki/space/CookieSteps

On this page, it describes how "text" must be set to "#(sessioncookie)" (which
makes sense because the ID for the cookie changes per session basis). However,
when I try to build the .xml, it comes back with the following error:

com.canoo.webtest.engine.StepFailedException: Wrong cookie "cookieName" value
found! Expected "#{sessioncookie}" but got "SessionIDNumber"

Does anybody know how to have HTTPUnit register "#(sessioncookie)" as a session
variable, rather than taking it as a literal string?
