How can I use data from response to next request

Hi Katarzyna,

You can use a Property Transfer TestStep after the SOAP response, and before the next SOAP request.

Use the XPath expression "//id" in the Source pane to isolate the ID value.
You'll need to specify an XPath express to replace the Target XML also.

Have a read of http://www.soapui.org/Functional-Testin ... alues.html

Kind regards,

Hi,

I try to do this, but I always get null. Maybe I do something wrong? Can ypu look at this?

Best regards

Hi Katarzyna,

Are there multiple elements of SaveCreditCardResponse, or is there (always) just the one? If so, why not use just "//id" as the XPath expression for the source?

I've run into problems before using namespace declarations. It's hard to know exactly what's going wrong for you without seeing the full request & response messages, but I suspect it has something to do with the XPath expression not being deemed valid by SoapUI (because of the namespace prefix) - even if it appears to be valid, and is accepted by external tools (e.g. XMLSpy).

Kind regards,
Tim

Hi,
This is whole response:

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<soap:Body>
<SaveCreditCardResponse xmlns="http://www.ibe.voyager.rsd.de-v1">
<SaveCreditCardResult>
<ID>20</ID>
</SaveCreditCardResult>
</SaveCreditCardResponse>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>


I get only one ID, but when I reduce it to//ID - I still get Transferred Values: [null].

Best Regards
Katarzyna

Try this in your Source:

//*[local-name()='ID']

Also, ensure you have checked 'Transfer text content' in the properties (below the Target section).

Kind regards,
Tim

Hello,

I works correctly - thanks a lot for your help.
Unfortunately I have one more questions:

1. How can I use this when I have more than one ID, for egazmple, when I have something like this:

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<soap:Body>
<SaveCreditCardResponse xmlns="http://www.ibe.voyager.rsd.de-v1">
<SaveCreditCardResult>
<ID>20</ID>
</SaveCreditCardResult>
<SaveBankResult>
<ID>20</ID>
</SaveBankResult>
</SaveCreditCardResponse>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

I assume that local-name() does not work here.

Best Regards
Katarzyna

Hi Katarzyna,

To isolate a particular item, try this (replacing the number accordingly):

(//*[local-name() = 'ID'])[1]

Hi,

Can someone help me more on using Propery Transfer Step.
I have a testStep1 which when I executed will get a NotificationId in the response.
Now this Id changes everytime I run the test step, so everytime it changes I need the new Id to be inputed in the test step2 where it uses this Id to give more details about this Id.
I dont have a pro or else I could have just said a right click & said Get Data from the testStep1.
I did go through the responses but I am not able to understand as to what Source should be & what the Target should be..
Please help me with this..
