[Webtest] Re: Case sensitivity on generated URL parameters problem

[Marc Guillemot]

Hi,

you can simply use Ant's <echo file="..."
message="sessionID='#{sessionID}"/> from your test retrieving the
session id and the Ant's <property file="..."/> in the other tests to
load the previously written session id as property.

Alternatively you can use an Ant extension that allows to pop properties
to a calling build file to make them available for the rest of the
build. The drawback of this solution is that you can't run a single test
what can is handy at conception time.

Cheers,
Marc.
