SoapUI and XMLs

Hi All,

I've created TestCase with request and groovy script reads file and inserts values from file into request. But I have a trouble :

I used "XmlHolder" to working with request. And I found a way how I can remove nodes or edit them in request.
But I've found a big trouble for me :

I've XML with node :

     
    ?


I don't know how many products will be in request.
So, I've tried to search for a function that can add child node () to parent node (), but I didn't found answer.

Please, help me with this easy task (I feel that answer is so simple).

Thanks a lot

    I've read page about groovy script, but as I can understood "Modification of a Request xml" allows me to change only values of nodes, and XmlHolder allows only remove nodes and modify values of nodes.

    If you know how to add nodes to a xml, please, provide part of GroovyScript code.

    Thanks,
    Yuri

    I have the same problem as Ostr.

    Is it possible at all adding nodes to a xml request?
    Some sample GroovyScript code would be indeed very helpful. thanks

    Relating to soapUI pro support:
    Unfortunately, our company is not yet a pro member. But we are going to buy a licence as soon our customer agrees.
    My problem: I have to write the test cases with the trial version these days. thanks for any support.

    here's the solution: extract what you need...

    /*
    [Script Name  ]  DLC Parsing
    [Purpose      ]  Parses service codes from an excel test data sheet and insert relating nodes into XML SOAP-request.

    */


    def stepName = "GenerateLabel";

    // read current SOAP request XML file
    def request = testRunner.testCase.getTestStepByName(stepName);
    def property = request.getProperty("request");
    def rootNode = new groovy.util.XmlParser(false,false).parseText(property.value);

    // delete previous service codes
    def tmpAttributeList = [];
    def attributesNodes = rootNode["soapenv:Body"]["typ:$stepName"]["typ:Envelope"]["typ:Data"]["typ:Provider"]["typ:Sending"]["typ:Item"]["typ:Attributes"][0].children();
    for (attribute in attributesNodes) {
    if (attribute.name() != "typ:ATT_PRZL") {
    // [c1]: save temporary attribute nodes for sticking to sequence restriction defined in relating XSD schema
    tmpAttributeList.add(attribute);
    log.info attribute;
    }
    }

    // see comment [c1]
    attributesNodes.clear();

    // read service codes values from excel data sheet
    def dlcField = context.expand( '${ExcelSheet#ATT_PRZL}' )
    def dlcCodes = dlcField.split(',')

    // update SOAP request XML file with service codes
    def attributesNode = rootNode["soapenv:Body"]["typ:$stepName"]["typ:Envelope"]["typ:Data"]["typ:Provider"]["typ:Sending"]["typ:Item"]["typ:Attributes"][0];
    for (code in dlcCodes) {
    attributesNode.appendNode("typ:ATT_PRZL", code);
    }

    // back up old attributes data, see comment [c1]
    for (attribute in tmpAttributeList) {
    attributesNode.append(attribute);
    }

    // save changes in SOAP request XML file before start sending it
    def writer = new java.io.StringWriter();
    def printer = new groovy.util.XmlNodePrinter( new PrintWriter( writer ));
    printer.print( rootNode );
    def xmlString = com.eviware.soapui.support.xml.XmlUtils.prettyPrintXml(writer.toString())
    property.setValue( xmlString )
