Hi Dofus01
Do I understand correctly - you have a spreadsheet that generates various schema valid and (maybe) some invalid XML instances and you publish these to a web service but for some tests you want to add a header and footer into them....?
Is that correct?
Quick question - you have a .wsdl - right - so it's SOAP - so - if the spreadsheet generates the XML's rather than you having a bunch of XML files in a directory somewhere (picking them up with the Datasource step) how are you passing these XML's to your SOAP Request steps in your tests?
Do your SOAP request steps include the SOAP envelope?
OR do the XMLs you generate include the SOAP envelope?
What is the header and footer? I wouldn't expect anything to go into the request external to the SOAP envelope
I just want to make sure I understand your issues before before going off on a tangent and providing a possible answer to a question you haven't actually asked! (I get easily confused! ;))
At first I read your post like you had a request and you needed to insert some weird header and footer into the XML request - but I'm changing my mind as I sit here - when you refer to a header and footer - are you actually talking about the SOAP envelope and your XML instance populates the <SOAPBody> container tag (and the parent tag of your XML instance is defined by the <operation name> tag in your .wsdl.
So - I've totally changed my mind on what you;re looking for - so if you could come back and clarify - that would be great!
Cheers,
rich
