hi rao
sorry for the late reply - i don't recall getting a notification via email that this post was replied to.
I don't think the detail for what i'm specifically trying to achieve is important.
What I'm really asking is, whilst using the groovy script test step - is there a way to store an object within ready during runtime? There appears to be a feature named 'context.myproperty' that aims to achieve this but when I attempted this the object when called was slightly distorted for an xml object or json object - seems ready couldn't store it as it was passed and corrupted it...
do you have any further insight into how i may store an object created within a groovy test step for later use in a test case? The alternative is for me to write and compile a class to achieve this but then I begin to move a lot of the work outside the context of ready api.
thanks
Andy
