Using Groovy to pull out some response data

Question

I'm still a bit of a newbie at this and for my current test suite I'm required to create an object using the web service that I'm testing and record its unitId in order to make further requests on that same object. The creation method results in a simple XML response:

true
156212

What I want to do is extract the message value (156212) and would like to know the Groovy command on how to do that. Thanks in advance.

Good resources for this info are

and

http://www.soapui.org/userguide/properties.html#Property_Expansion_in_soapUI

That said, for your XML, assuming your request step is called "Request":

context.expand('${Request#Response#//responseStatus[1]/message[1]/text()}')

I'd forgotten to mention that this is on a REST service, but that worked fine.&nbsp; Thanks.
