Hi,

The problem is converting the numbers for the JSON object names "1","2", "3", "4","6", and "-1" to XML. Element names can not be numbers in XML. That will result in the error you are seeing. As a workaround you can change the object names before they are converted with the event handler RequestFilter.afterRequest and code below.


context.httpResponse.responseContent = context.httpResponse.responseContent.replace("\"1\"","\"a\"")
context.httpResponse.responseContent = context.httpResponse.responseContent.replace("\"2\"","\"b\"")
context.httpResponse.responseContent = context.httpResponse.responseContent.replace("\"3\"","\"c\"")
context.httpResponse.responseContent = context.httpResponse.responseContent.replace("\"4\"","\"d\"")
context.httpResponse.responseContent = context.httpResponse.responseContent.replace("\"6\"","\"e\"")
context.httpResponse.responseContent = context.httpResponse.responseContent.replace("\"-1\"","\"f\"")
log.info context.httpResponse.responseContent

Development is aware of the issues with converting XML to JSON and these should be addressed in future releases of SoapUI Pro.
