After some fiddling around, I finally determined that the problem capturing the attribute value is that the default namespace ( xmlns="http://EOP.xxxxCorporation/Schema/ServiceRequestResponse" ) doesn't have a name attached to it.

Some searching led me to a blog entry by Devakara ( http://groovyinsoapui.wordpress.com/200 ... n-soap-ui/ ) and I discovered that I could capture the value by using this statement:

responseStatus = holderInnerXML["//ns1:Outcome/@Status"]

My thanks to Devakara for his helpful blog.
