Testing Struts application - Token Problem.

Question

Hi, I'm using JMeter to test a Struts application that uses the saveToken and isTokenValid mehods. I have a page to select a list of items and then a page to update 1 of the items. Whe token is set going to the update page but somehow changes when I submit the form. Any Ideas?

Note: I follow the same path with the JMeter test as I do within the browser.

Here's what I've done to overcome the formToken problem in our app:

Duplicate the HTTP request. Remove all parameters, and turn it into a GET. Place it before your original request (the POST), and add a regex to the GET, retrieving the token. In the original POST, reference the token as a variable.

The tree would look like this:

• GET -- Regex for Token -- POST

Let me know if this helps
