Soap UI Issue for parsing response for next request

Are both of your steps in test case are SOAP request type?

May be you can have a groovy script step after Search step, and process the response from previous step i.e., Search response in this case and pass the parameters to Details step.

Please see the below link how you can get the values from Search step response in a groovy step.

Thanks Roa for the prompt reply.
could be elaborate more as i m new to groovy. i have the results in the form of string and need to pick one out of them.

It will be little new in the beginning, as you go you will become master

would you please confirm below

yes both the steps are soap request type.
I hope i have made my ques clear to you.
If you need an example i can provide you with the same.

this is the exact xml response which i am getting the search.

<s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<s:Body>
<SearchResponse>
<SearchResult xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<Results xmlns:a="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/Arrays">
<a:string>
<![CDATA[<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<ArrayOfMobilePhone>
<MobilePhone>
<companyName>Nokia</companyName>
<modelNumber>12345</modelNumber>
</MobilePhone>
<MobilePhone>
<companyName>Nokia</companyName>
<modelNumber>54632</modelNumber>
</MobilePhone>
<MobilePhone>
<companyName>Apple</companyName>
<modelNumber>A654</modelNumber>
</MobilePhone>
</ArrayOfMobilePhone>]]>
</a:string>
</Results>
<Status>Successful</Status>
<Warning i:nil="true"/>
</SearchResult>
</SearchResponse>
</s:Body>
</s:Envelope>

Now i need to extract a particular mobile phone object which is in Results/a[0]/string... i am unable to get.

Waiting for your reply.

This will log and ignore all of your CDATA stuff (I hate CDATA) and will output only the 'child' nodes (In your example, companyName and modelNumber).

def groovyUtils = new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils(context)
def holder = groovyUtils.getXmlHolder("CData Test#Response");
def xml = holder.getPrettyXml()
def regexp = ("<([^<>]+)>(.*?)</\\1>");
def matcher = xml =~ regexp;
matcher.each {
 log.info it[1]
 log.info it[2];
}

it[1] is your element and it[2] is the value. If you want something more specific to grab, for example, only the modelNumber, edit the regex to correspond to that or add in an if (it[1].equals(tag)) { }. There is better ways but I like to use groovy scripts.

Thanks PaulM for the reply.
When i used the above code got the error as Unexpected element CData

Can you suggest me how to use the values of CompanyName and modelnumber to the next step.

Please suggest for the same.

I think you need to replace the step name in the below line

def holder = groovyUtils.getXmlHolder("CData Test#Response")

More over, it prints all the values on the console. You may also note that there are duplicates i.e., Nokia appears multiple times

Now you need to know what values needs to be extracted and pass those details to Step Details in your case.

Thanks Roa its working fine after removing CData

def holder = groovyUtils.getXmlHolder( 'Search#Response' );

but now it is printing all the values. I need a random no which will select the values from the results fetched.

Steps will be.
Step 1. Count the no. of results provided in the response.
Step 2. Then get a random number from that count.
Step 3. Then use those specific values for the input of next step.

Hi All,

Is there any method in which i can convert my response into the WSDL class.
I mean to say the response I am getting is in the serialized form MobilePhone[] . now my ques is can I De-serialize the response in MobilePhone[] through some method or function and then can use the random no and pick the details on a specific index as we can to in the coding language.
