Renaming request nodes
Hi all, While using property transfer, with xpath, i am able to forward nodes and children to the next request object. Problem is, my source node name needs to appear differently in my destination....

One way to do it:
Response XML
Groovy script to rename the first node (adapted from http://stackoverflow.com/a/4956151:)
Request with property expansion:
Expanded request with renamed node:
Response XML
<info>
<item index="1">
<itemContent index="1">asdfasd</itemContent>
<itemContent index="2">wertywe</itemContent>
</item>
<item index="2">
<itemContent index="1">ae344qwer</itemContent>
<itemContent index="2">w64534</itemContent>
</item>
