Retrieve minoccurs (isOptional) for a field

Do you have an XMLHolder for the request or its schema?

I have the XMLHolder for the request. I want to check the minoccurs attribute for a particular field from that request (in general, check if that field is optional)

I don't even know how to retrieve an XMLHolder for a Schema.

Hello ? I am still waiting for a response, and this is urgent.

Hi!

hmm.. I'm not sure this is easily done with the public APIs, can you show the script you have so far so I can see where to pick up?

From the OnRequestScript:

XmlHolder requestHolder = new XmlHolder(mockRequest.getRequestContent());

// now i want to get the schema information on a particular node, eg. //id[1], i want to check if that field is optional in that request

Node n = requestHolder.getDomNode("//id[1]");

// and what to do now ?

I am still waiting for a response on this...

Hi!

this requires a little more advanced scripting that uses the XmlBeans SchemaTypeSystem built internally in soapUI. First you need to create an XmlObjectTreeModel for your request message:

// create an XmlObjectTreeModel
def model = new com.eviware.soapui.support.editor.views.xml.outline.support.XmlObjectTreeModel(
mockRequest.mockOperation.operation.getInterface().definitionContext.schemaTypeSystem,
org.apache.xmlbeans.XmlObject.Factory.parse( mockRequest.requestContent) );

To determine if an element is optional you will need to get the type information for its parent element which can give you information on the elements it contains based on its contentModel (this is XmlBeans-speak)

// select parent of desired node so we can get its contentModel
def nodes = model.selectTreeNodes( "//id[1]/.." );
def schemaType = nodes[0].schemaType;

Now we need to query the type for this information, for example to get the minOccurs of the first child particle in a sequence (which will be 0 if it is optional), we could use

// get particle for first child in this sequence and show if it is optional
def childParticle = schemaType.contentModel.particleChildren[0]
log.info schemaType.contentModel.particleChildren[0].minOccurs

Hope this helps you getting started, dig in to the XmlBeans SchemaType APIs at http://xmlbeans.apache.org/docs/2.4.0/r ... aType.html to find out how you can traverse the type information model, etc..

Thank you, this works great !

Can You answer one more question for me:

How can i validate a request against its schema from GroovyScript ?

I need to get the same output as the function "validate" from the mouse right click menu in XML Source view, output like:

line 16: Invalid decimal value: unexpected char '63'
line 20: Invalid date value: ?

and so on...

All i have is the mockRequest (its XmlHolder)
