Help with Mock Responses

Question

Hi All;I have been using SoapUI for a bit over a year now, purely as a client to file/retrieve data to/from a db. I was simply editing/copying requests to manually build test suites.I now am charged with testing a WS client from my db against non existent services. I am able to manually mock up the responses, but now need to get a bit more dynamic in my responses.I need to able to do 2 things....1. Read a portion of the request (min 2 parameters, more in some cases) and use that to determine the mock response dispatch.2. Return a portion of each request exactly as submitted.Based on a little lurking here, and reading the help doc, I am thinking that scripting would be the best way to achieve both objectives...Might someone be able to provide a simple example of each? Or possibly point to a tutorial(s). My presumption is that the dispatch scripting will take place in the 'Mock Operation Editor' and the defaulting behavior from request data will be scripted in the 'Mock Response Editor'I currently am using the free 3.0.1.I have very little coding experience, no groovy experience; but can alter once I get a simple working version of each.Thanks in advance,-Tim

I am working on the MockResponse dispatch and I think I have it right so far...

def groovyUtils = new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils(context)
def holder = groovyUtils.getXmlHolder( mockRequest.requestContent )
def scriptName = holder.getNodeValue( "//scriptName")
def optionId = holder.getNodeValue( "//OptionId")

if (scriptName == "TEST2")

How do I now specify the MockResponse to use? And if i were to use multiple arguments in my if statement, what is the groovy syntax?

I have searched the forum high and low.

Thanks again...

1) Have you looked at this?http://www.soapui.org/userguide/mock/operations.html#Groovy_Script_Dispatching[/font:77mouc9d]"The script must return the name of the MockResponse to dispatch to..."2) If statement uses standard Java syntax, eg:if (scriptName == "TEST2" &amp;&amp; optionId == "2") { // some code}Hope this helps.

Ah yes, I had looked a that help topic, however I did not notice that "Invalid Session Id Fault" was one of the defined responses, since it is cut off in the screen shot....That does help! I can now execute a dispatch, sort of.I did not have success with the statement however. I do not believe I am obtaining values from the request properly... My new code..def groovyUtils = new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils(context)def holder = groovyUtils.getXmlHolder( mockRequest.requestContent )def scriptName = holder.getNodeValue( "//scriptName")def optionId = holder.getNodeValue( "//OptionId")if (scriptName == "TEST2") return "Response2"  else return "error" always returns the "error" response, so at least I know it is being executed!They are nested within objects, do I need to add their hierarchy?some thing like... (//RunScript/scriptName)The request is... (scriptName and OpionId tags near bottom)&lt;soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:tem="http://tempuri.org/"&gt;&nbsp;  &lt;soapenv:Header/&gt;&nbsp;  &lt;soapenv:Body&gt;&nbsp;

I figured i would have to do that in the MockResponse when it came time to modify the response, but I thought that would have been separate from the dispatch (I would have to read in from the xmlHolder again in the repsonse)More thanks...-Tim

You have namespace declarations so I think you would have to do

def scriptName = holder.getNodeValue( "//tem:scriptName")

If you do

log.info scriptName

after you get the value from the XmlHolder you can see what it is in the script log.
