XPath Match configuration UI

Hello,

On Windows Vista Business SP2, in SOAPUI Pro 3.0.1, I'm trying to determine what these two headers mean in the 'XPath Match Configuration' ->'Expected Result' UI: "Allow wil..." and "ignore namespace prefix..." . Those headers won't expand if I expand the window and they don't have mouse over help. Is this a bug?

I assume that "ignore namespace prefix..." means that the namespace prefix will be ignored when determining if a XPath Match occurs.

Thanks

    Hi!

    thanks for pointing this out.. can you attach a screenshot also?

    You are correct about the "ignore namespace prefixes..", the other option is "allow wildcards" which lets you substitute element and attribute values with "*" in the expected xml which will result in them being ignored during the comparison.

    regards!

    It seems to be that *only* asterisks work as wild card characters and not full regular expressions. Is there any plan to change this?
