    Actuall I think I figured it out.

     

    def request = new XmlSlurper().parseText(mockRequest.requestContent)
    def a = request.Body.Transaction.TransactionId
    context.transId = a

     

    So now my response uses the same TransactionId as the request.

     

    However if anyone has any better way to do this please let me know.

following on

 

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}

 

i.e.

using /myreq/person/{name}/gumf?year={year}

 

putting in the values

          /myreq/person/mike/gumf?year=2016

 

 

the response would use

{

      "Name" = "${name}"

      "Year" = ${#year}

}

Hi

 

it seems that using the ${#year} from my previous example does not work now

 

as an alternative, within groovy script add something as follows in order to be able to reference the value within the response

context.year = mockRequest.getHttpRequest().getParameter("year")

 

then simply use ${year} within the response
