How to capture values from JSON request and pass to response

[viswam_i]

All,

I am working on REST service mocking. As part of this need to capture JSON request and from there capture few values  and pass to response. Can anyone please help me how to do this ?

Thanks

Hi

have a look at this http://docs.groovy-lang.org/latest/html/gapi/groovy/json/JsonSlurper.html

you will probably use something like this to get your json payload

def slurper = new JsonSlurper()
def result = slurper.parseText(mockRequest.getRequestContent())

use an example from the link above to see how to get specific values

within your dispatch script set a property value to hold the respective json element value

context.setProperty( "PropertyName", JSONElementValue)

then within your response simply use ${PropertyName} where you want your inbound value to be returned

i.e.

{ "Request value" : "${PropertyName}" }

obviously using a naming convention that suits

hope that helps

It would be good if you can show the data that you are working with and what data do you need to extract.
