Modify response with request data

Question

Hi all,&nbsp;Newb question for you.&nbsp;&nbsp;All I want to do is grab data from the request and add it to the response. In this case a transactionId from the request I want to&nbsp;transfer to the response transactionId field.&nbsp;I have put a variable in the response:&nbsp;&lt;int:TransactionId&gt;${transId}&lt;/int:TransactionId&gt;&nbsp;and can get it to update from the script (I'm using a "Sequence" response). However I can't get the data from the request.&nbsp;&nbsp;Any pointers are appreciated.&nbsp;m

Actuall I think I figured it out.&nbsp;def request = new XmlSlurper().parseText(mockRequest.requestContent)def a = request.Body.Transaction.TransactionIdcontext.transId = a&nbsp;So now my response uses the same TransactionId as the request.&nbsp;However if anyone has any better way to do this please let me know.&nbsp;m

Hiya couple of other methods&nbsp;//with xml based requestdef groovyUtils = new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils( context )def holder = groovyUtils.getXmlHolder(mockRequest.requestContent)def&nbsp;transID = holder.getNodeValue("//TransactionId")&nbsp;//non xml based requestdef groovyUtils = new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils( context )def queryContext = mockRequest.getRequestContext()def transID = queryContext.get("TransactionId")&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

following on&nbsp;if you're not bothered about any manipulation of the data and simply want to include input parameter values within the json response simply include the variable within the json response by using ${NonOptVarName} or ${#OptVarName}&nbsp;i.e.using /myreq/person/{name}/gumf?year={year}&nbsp;putting in the values&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; /myreq/person/mike/gumf?year=2016&nbsp;&nbsp;the reponse would use{&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "Name" = "${name}"&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "Year" = ${#year}}&nbsp;

Hi&nbsp;it seems that using the ${#year} from my previous example does not work now&nbsp;as an alternative, within groovy script add something as follows in order to be able to reference the value within the responsecontext.year = mockRequest.getHttpRequest().getParameter("year")&nbsp;then simply use ${year} within the response
