    Just FYI there's no need to use Groovy, a regular Property Transfer will work just as well.

     

    Source (step): GetCountryByCountryCode
    Property: Response
    Path language: XPath
    Expression:

    (saxon:parse(//*:GetCountryByCountryCodeResult))//Table[1]/name

    or just

    (saxon:parse(//*:GetCountryByCountryCodeResult))//name

    (it seems that saxon picks the 1st matching node by default)


    Target: The test step where you need to use the "India" value
    Property: Request
    Path language: XPath

    Expression: An XPath expression for the target request field. For example, if you want to use the "India" value in the GetCurrencyByCountry operation that uses this request body

    <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:web="http://www.webserviceX.NET">
   <soap:Header/>
   <soap:Body>
      <web:GetCurrencyByCountry>
         <web:CountryName>India</web:CountryName>
      </web:GetCurrencyByCountry>
   </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

    the request XPath expression would be

    //*:CountryName

     

    I attached a sample project to demonstrate the above.

Looks like this question is also posted here

 

There is no need to have an additional groovy step. Instead add a Script Assertion for the first request test step

 

 

//Check if there is repose
assert context.response, 'Response is empty or null'
def lookpcode = context.expand('${#TestCase#CountryCode}')
def dataSet = new XmlSlurper().parseText(context.response).'**'.find{ it.name() == 'GetCountryByCountryCodeResult')} as String
def countryName = new XmlSlurper().parseText(dataSet).'**'.find{ it.name() == 'countrycode' && it == lookpcode)}.parent().name.text()
log.info "Country name is ${countryName} where code is ${lookpcode}"
assert countryName, 'Country name empty or null'
context.testCase.setPropertyValue('COUNTRY_NAME', countryName)

In the next step, use property expansion where you needed the country name i.e., ${#TestCase#COUNTRY_NAME}
