Howto Coerce useful values from Java Static Methods

This shows how to Coerce useful values from Java Static Methods with Property Expansion. I've wrapped them in Groovy to make them easy to demonstrate but obviously the Property expansions themselves could be used directly in requests.

correlationID = context.expand('${=java.util.UUID.randomUUID()}')
testRunner.testCase.setPropertyValue("correlationID", correlationID)
log.info("correlationID="+testRunner.testCase.getPropertyValue("correlationID"))

startTime = context.expand('${=System.currentTimeMillis()}')
testRunner.testCase.setPropertyValue("startTime", startTime)
log.info("startTime="+testRunner.testCase.getPropertyValue("startTime"))

currentTime = context.expand('${=Calendar.getInstance().getTime()}')
testRunner.testCase.setPropertyValue("currentTime", currentTime)
log.info("currentTime="+testRunner.testCase.getPropertyValue("currentTime"))

isoDate = context.expand('${=new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-mm-dd").format(Calendar.getInstance().getTime())}')
testRunner.testCase.setPropertyValue("isoDate", isoDate)
log.info("isoDate="+testRunner.testCase.getPropertyValue("isoDate"))

currentLocale = context.expand('${=Locale.getDefault()}')
testRunner.testCase.setPropertyValue("currentLocale", currentLocale)
log.info("currentLocale="+testRunner.testCase.getPropertyValue("currentLocale"))

systemProperty = context.expand('${=System.getProperty("soapui.home")}')
testRunner.testCase.setPropertyValue("systemProperty", systemProperty)
log.info("systemProperty="+testRunner.testCase.getPropertyValue("systemProperty"))
