Hi.

Some sites created with JAVA, there are session id parameters such as ";jsessionid=".
Are there any ways to remove this parameter and count the Page Views as same URL access?

ex)

index.htm;jsessionid=123456789423126745?id=14&page=2
index.htm;jsessionid=987654321987654112?id=14&page=2

In this case, I expected as below

index.htm 2PV

but the result is

index.htm;jsessionid=123456789423126745?id=14&page=2 1PV
index.htm;jsessionid=987654321987654112?id=14&page=2 1PV

How can I get the expected results as above?

We have fixed the issue in version 8.2 beta. The jsessionid parameter is now removed by default.

Unfortunately it's not possible to remove this parameter. The problem appears because the jsessionid parameter and file name are separated by semicolon instead of question mark in this case, so the program shows it as part of file names.

We'll consider adding this feature but it is unlikely that we add it in the next version (7.3).

Thank you for your response.
Okay..
Then I'll replace "jsessionid" parameter form all log files using other
text editor and then put them into Weblog Expert.

If possible, could you please consider to add this replace feature during the next update?
