Get <SessionId> / Hash of output file

Hi guys,

I'm new to SoapUI, groovy script, ... I would like to get the Hash inside <SessionId> ...

This is my output file:

<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="..." xmlns:ns1="...">
   <SOAP-ENV:Body>
      <ns1:Session>
         <SessionId>...Hash...</SessionId>
      </ns1:Session>
   </SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>


... in order to put it inside all other input file, cause they need the hash to work.

Finally the test should check all requests by one click (this should be possible in a very elegant way in LoadUI, when I got it right)

I tried to get it through properties, but only found input properties.

I also tired to use Groovy script, but it doesn't work yet...

Can anybody help me please?

    Hi Unrealmirakulix,

    By the looks of it, you need to add a Property Transfer TestStep to your test, setup to isolate the hash value from a SOAP response, and dynamically replace values in another SOAP request (or multiple SOAP requests).

    You can use the XPath expression "//SessionId" to isolate the value from your response. You'll need to use a different expression to isolate the value in the Target message (e.g. the SOAP request where you want to copy the "...Hash..." value to).

    Kind regards,
    Tim

    Why are you trying to do this using Groovy?

    Kind regards,

    I tried to do it with SoapUI itself, but didn't find a solution. Some tutorials for the pro version. So I switched to groovy...

    Hi Unrealmirakulix,

    I'm sorry, but can you elaborate please? Property transfers are very straightforward. Perhaps I'm missing something? Can you explain in more detail what you're trying to achieve.

    Kind regards,
    Tim

    Session id is in output, but I only found possibilities to get Properties from input. How can I get this from an output value?

    In the Property Transfer step, under Source, change the Property value from Request to Response.

    Kind regards,

    I'm absolutely new to SoapUI and just need this feature or a simple error test. Pleas tell me exactly what to do, even it's very simple.

    ok, thanks.

    Now I got it. Didn't know, where I can add the transfer property... ^^

    So the last thing imho is, what to put in the fields for values in source / target:

    I selected authenticate as source + Property Responce (where the SessionId / Hash is "generated") and in target getDeviceMenufacturers + Property request, because you need to put in the Hash in <SessionId> for access to this.

    Source:
    <SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="..." xmlns:ns1="... .wsdl">
       <SOAP-ENV:Body>
          <ns1:Session>
             <SessionId>...Hash...</SessionId>
          </ns1:Session>
       </SOAP-ENV:Body>
    </SOAP-ENV:Envelope>


    Target:
    <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="..." xmlns:syc="... .wsdl">
       <soapenv:Header/>
       <soapenv:Body>
          <syc:getDeviceManufacturersRequest>
             <SessionId>...Hash...</SessionId>
             <DeviceType>...i will edit this ;)...</DeviceType>
          </syc:getDeviceManufacturersRequest>
       </soapenv:Body>
    </soapenv:Envelope>


    What do I have to put in instead of 'SessionId'?
