title: Jmeter to pass JSF View State in Post request
body: <p>I am evaluating the JMeter to be used for Load testing of our JSF application.</p>
  
  <p>I followed the below link to find the way to pass JSF View State Id from one requests to other and it worked.

  <p>I can see the JSF View State Id getting passed ,but the issue is the String got modified as below and causing view expired exception.</p>
  
  <pre><code>Actual JSF View State returned from GET :5843186584364912760:4842974224399060609
    The subsequent POST request send this :5843186584364912760%3A4842974224399060609
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The ":" character in middle is replaced with %3A (hexa value), is there any way to bypass  this and pass the exact string from one request to other.</p>
