JMeter and DWR

I just follow this article to test DWR request in JMeter. To tell the truth, I didn’t get its content very well. I had no choice but read a second time and went through all comments. So I decided to give a try in my desktop. Eventually I worked it out and now I can test DWR request.

Two important and great thing the author dig out is how to get httpSessionId and scriptSessionId for a DWR request. Request for engine.js and use Regular Expression Extractor to get the scriptSessionId. But this regular expression is for DWR2.0. Follow the link at the last to see a regular expression for latest DWR.

dwr.engine._origScriptSessionId  = "(.*)";

double quotes work instead of single quotes for me.

For the httpSessionId, I got it from the Http Cookie Manager in the thread group, with the expression ${JSESSIONID}

One thing I forgot is DWR request method is ’POST’, but not ’GET’ which is the default value when adding a new Http Request.
