Array response as input for further test steps

Hi Tom,

could you either attach or mail me the full response and target request so I can play around with this locally to get it working?

Hello Ole

Attached, you'll find the requested information.

Tom

Thanks!

Exactly what do you want to transfer to the target? The entire contents of the rinder arrary (ie all 35 TVXmlRindV0)? Or just certain elements/values of each? Maybe you could fabricate a desired result xml (1 item is enough ;-), so I can see?

bes regards,

Let me explain in more details what we try to do:

The first Test step calls the operation "rinderTierverzeichnis" which returns (among other elements) the array "rinder".

"rinder" is defined as follows:

<rinder xsi:type="java1:ArrayOfTVXmlRindVO" soapenc:arrayType="java1:TVXmlRindVO[]" xsi:nil="true" xmlns:java1="java:com.csc.tvd.oerxml.vo.abfragen"/>

and "TVXmlRindVO" is defined as:

         <xsd:complexType name="TVXmlRindVO">
            <xsd:sequence>
               <xsd:element type="xsd:dateTime" name="abgang" minOccurs="1" nillable="true" maxOccurs="1"/>
               <xsd:element type="xsd:integer" name="farbe" minOccurs="1" nillable="true" maxOccurs="1"/>
               <xsd:element type="xsd:dateTime" name="geburtsdatum" minOccurs="1" nillable="true" maxOccurs="1"/>
               <xsd:element type="xsd:string" name="gesamtbefund" minOccurs="1" nillable="true" maxOccurs="1"/>
               <xsd:element type="xsd:string" name="geschlecht" minOccurs="1" nillable="true" maxOccurs="1"/>
               <xsd:element type="xsd:string" name="identitaet" minOccurs="1" nillable="true" maxOccurs="1"/>
               <xsd:element type="xsd:string" name="rasse" minOccurs="1" nillable="true" maxOccurs="1"/>
               <xsd:element type="xsd:string" name="tiername" minOccurs="1" nillable="true" maxOccurs="1"/>
               <xsd:element type="xsd:dateTime" name="zugang" minOccurs="1" nillable="true" maxOccurs="1"/>
            </xsd:sequence>
         </xsd:complexType>

We now want to call the operation plausiRinderpass which has (among other input elements) as input the array "rinderpass".  For this, all returned "identitaet" from "rinder" should be transferred to "indentitaet" in "rinderpass"

"rinderpass" is defined as follows:

<rinderpass xsi:type="java1:ArrayOfTVXmlRinderpassVO" soapenc:arrayType="java1:TVXmlRinderpassVO[]" xsi:nil="true" xmlns:java1="java:com.csc.tvd.oerxml.vo.bestellwesen"/>

and TVXmlRinderpassVO is defined as:

         <xsd:complexType name="TVXmlRinderpassVO">
            <xsd:sequence>
               <xsd:element type="xsd:string" name="errorCodes" minOccurs="1" nillable="true" maxOccurs="1"/>
               <xsd:element type="xsd:string" name="identitaet" minOccurs="1" nillable="true" maxOccurs="1"/>
               <xsd:element type="xsd:decimal" name="passnummer" minOccurs="1" nillable="true" maxOccurs="1"/>
               <xsd:element type="xsd:string" name="warningCodes" minOccurs="1" nillable="true" maxOccurs="1"/>
            </xsd:sequence>
         </xsd:complexType>

Thanks for the clarification Tom.. I'll see how I can get this working (the new XQuery property-transfer feature will hopefully come in handy..)

best regards,

Hi Tom,

ok.. please try the following;

Create a property-transfer-step containing a property-transfer that uses XQuery (checkbox bottom right in the latest snapshot), set the source step/property to your request and its response and set the source xquery expression to

<rinderpass xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
 xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" 
 xsi:type="java1:ArrayOfTVXmlRinderpassVO" soapenc:arrayType="java1:TVXmlRinderpassVO[]" 
 xsi:nil="true" xmlns:java1="java:com.csc.tvd.oerxml.vo.bestellwesen">
{
    for $z in //identitaet/text() 
            return <item xsi:type="arrayType:TVXmlRinderpassVO" xmlns:arrayType="java:com.csc.tvd.oerxml.vo.bestellwesen">
                       <arrayType:identitaet>{data($z)}</arrayType:identitaet></item>
} 
</rinderpass>

and the target teststep/request xpath to

declare namespace tvd='http://www.tierverkehr.ch/XMLServicesOer/TVDOerXml';
//tvd:plausiRinderpass/tVXmlRinderpassStructHolder/rinderpass

I think the data gets transfered correctly, but you'll need to validate with your services for me..

let me know!

That sounds great!
But we'll probably need the latest snapshot 29.08.07, right?

Since the next snapshot is around the corner, we'll wait for this and report back then.

Thanks a lot!
Tom

ok.. I'll let you know when the snapshot is available..

Hello Ole

We tested the Test Case with SNAPSHOT 2007-09-10 and it works great!

Thanks a lot!
Tom

P.S. Also the new Overview tab is very handy.
