Use response values in test step

Hi all, I am quite new to SoapUI and am currently trying to learn what it can do.

In my work we have a webservice for network equipment that I want to try to use Soap to do operations instead of perl scripting. Lets say I query this service for active ports under a node and get back a response like this :


    <soapenv:Body>
    <getLogicalPortsResponse xmlns="uri://manufacturer.com/service/4.0">
    <logicalPort xmlns="">Goteborg-FD:1-1-1-2</logicalPort>
    <logicalPort xmlns="">Goteborg-FD:1-1-1-4</logicalPort>
    etc etc etc


If I want to do a testcase and use a loop to send a new query command for each of these logicalPorts in the answer, can this be done? Can it be done in both pro and free?

Regards Micael

    If the test step request name is "XXXXXXX"

    //Getting the values from a response

    groovyUtils = new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils(context)
    XMLHolder = groovyUtils.getXmlHolder("XXXXXXX#Response")
    //"ports" is a array variable
    def ports = XMLHolder.getNodeValues("//logicalPort")

    //Setting the value to a request

    XMLHolder = groovyUtils.getXmlHolder("XXXXXXX#Request")
    //ports[0] holds the first port value, ports[1] holds the second port value and so on....
    XMLHolder.setNodeValue("//logicalPort", ports[0]);
    XMLHolder.updateProperty()
