modify xml

Hi!

you can use GroovyUtils / XmlHolder for this:

[tt:35qvqpgl]def groovyUtils = new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils( context )
def holder = groovyUtils.getXmlHolder( "TestRequest#Request" )

def node = holder.getDomNode( "//lis:PGID" )
node.parentNode.removeChild( node )

node = holder.getDomNode( "//lis:TVObjectID" )
node.parentNode.removeChild( node )

holder.updateProperty()[/tt:35qvqpgl]

Hope this helps!

Ole,

it works. thanks
just 1 more question:

def node = holder.getDomNode( "//lis:PGID" )
node is of class org.w3c.dom.Node
there are methods in this class
getParentNode() and removeChild(Node)

node.parentNode.removeChild( node )

you use node.parentNode
like you you are accessing a public field parentNode
I did not find parentNode as a field in the class class org.w3c.dom.Node
Where does it come from?

thanks in advance

Hi!

it's groovys way of accessing properties, ie a obj.getXXXX() method can in groovy be called with just obj.xXXXX

hi,

i have a question about modifying XML as well...

that's some response:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope">
   <soapenv:Body>
      <getDestinationCriteriaResponse xmlns="urn:iskratel-si:itnbsp-1-0">
         <node node="42308" destinationId="2" xmlns="">
            <param value="1" key="criteriaType1st"/>
            <param value="1" key="criteriaType2nd"/>
            <param value="1" key="destinationType"/>
            <param value="1" key="carrierReq"/>
            <param value="333" key="waitAnswerTime"/>
         </node>
      </getDestinationCriteriaResponse>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

from this response i would like to take whole <node>...</node> and paste it into another request.

here is what i do:

String response_to_paste = context.expand( '${getDestinationCriteria - prepair#Response#declare namespace ns1=\'urn:iskratel-si:itnbsp-1-0\'; //ns1:getDestinationCriteriaResponse[1]/node[1]}' )

this gives me:

<node node="42308" destinationId="2">
   <param value="1" key="criteriaType1st"/>
   <param value="1" key="criteriaType2nd"/>
   <param value="1" key="destinationType"/>
   <param value="1" key="carrierReq"/>
   <param value="333" key="waitAnswerTime"/>
</node>

than i choose another request where i want to paste response_to_paste.
def holder1 = groovyUtils.getXmlHolder( "modifyDestinationCriteria - repair#Request" )

i remove <node>...</node> from this request to make space for new one.
holder1.remove("//urn:modifyDestinationCriteriaRequest[1]/node[1]")

if i choose put or setNodeValue it puts my extracted response_to_paste into request, ok...
holder1.put( "//urn:modifyDestinationCriteriaRequest[1]", response)
holder1.updateProperty()

...but, what it makes is:

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:urn="urn:iskratel-si:itnbsp-1-0">
   <soap:Header/>
   <soap:Body>
      <urn:modifyDestinationCriteriaRequest><![CDATA[<node node="42308" destinationId="2">
            <param value="1" key="criteriaType1st"/>
            <param value="1" key="criteriaType2nd"/>
            <param value="1" key="destinationType"/>
            <param value="1" key="carrierReq"/>
            <param value="333" key="waitAnswerTime"/>
         </node>]]></urn:modifyDestinationCriteriaRequest>
   </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

CDATA!!!
what shall i use to get rid of this?

tnx,
beno

Hello,

This sounds like something which is much easier done using a Property Transfer. Just create a Property Transfer TestStep somewhere inbetween the two requests (or if you already have one, you can use that) and add a transfer, which transfers the source "node" element to the target element. Be sure to check the "Transfer Child Nodes" checkbox!

When done, the source and target fileds should have something similar to:

declare namespace ns1='urn:iskratel-si:itnbsp-1-0';
//ns1:getDestinationCriteriaResponse[1]

declare namespace ns1='urn:iskratel-si:itnbsp-1-0';
//urn:modifyDestinationCriteriaRequest[1]

tnx,

i know this.
that's how i did and it's working great.
it's just that i was so close with groovy also... it almost works.
i think i'll still try to make this work but it's ok, property transfer is all i need right now.
CDATA is probably logical thing since i inserted simple string and not node with childs and stuff...

beno
