Need help using GroovyScript

I'm using the trial version for soapui pro and i'm having a little trouble..

I'm testing a web service and im trying to obtain an authorization token (like a session id) after I log in. I need to use this "token" to use the other web services features. I would use property transfer but unfortunately my data is located within CDATA tags. how may i go about getting this information? I was told groovyscript would be best for this from reading other posts...


Thanks

    Can you post an example of the response that contains the token?

    Assuming your request is called 'Test Request':

    def groovyUtils = new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils( context )

    def response = context.expand( '${Test Request#ResponseAsXml}' )
    def holder = groovyUtils.getXmlHolder( response )
    def cdata = holder.getDomNode('//return/text()').nodeValue

    def holder2 = groovyUtils.getXmlHolder( cdata )
    def authToken = holder2.getDomNode('//authToken/text()').nodeValue
    log.info authToken

    the test request is called loginClerk...

    I used this

    def groovyUtils = new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils( context )

    def response = context.expand( '${loginClerk#ResponseAsXml}' )
    def holder = groovyUtils.getXmlHolder( response )
    def cdata = holder.getDomNode('//return/text()').nodeValue

    def holder2 = groovyUtils.getXmlHolder( cdata )
    def authToken = holder2.getDomNode('//authToken/text()').nodeValue
    log.info authToken



    and i got an error at line 4 for unexpected CDATA....

    Sorry, it's a SOAP request, so use this:

    def response = context.expand( '${loginClerk#Response}' )

    alright this may seem like a dumb question but how would i go about passing it to another function? i already have that written in the groovyscript window.


    thanks in advance

    Instead of logging the value, return it:

    def groovyUtils = new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils( context )

    def response = context.expand( '${loginClerk#ResponseAsXml}' )
    def holder = groovyUtils.getXmlHolder( response )
    def cdata = holder.getDomNode('//return/text()').nodeValue

    def holder2 = groovyUtils.getXmlHolder( cdata )
    def authToken = holder2.getDomNode('//authToken/text()').nodeValue
    return authToken


    Then in another request you can just use a property expansion - if your script is called 'Groovy Script' an example could be

    <authToken>${Groovy Script#result}</authToken>
