Assuming the format is constant:

Code:
awk -F";" '{sub(".*:","",$8);print $8}'

Unfortunately the format is not constant, the position of the JSESSIONID parameter varies.

Use nawk or /usr/xpg4/bin/awk on Solaris.

Code:
awk 'NF>1&&$0=$2' FS="JSESSIONID=[^:]*:" RS=";" input
Code:
perl -lne'print $1 while /JSESSIONID=.*?:(.*?);/g' input
