    Ok so first you definitely can edit xml strings using the same code I posted above. I think you need to use the method 'parseText()' instead of 'parse' though...

    As for the other question... you can save the edited xml into a property and then use that value. I also wrote some article about properties few days ago.

    I'm on the phone right now but let me know if you need more help!

    So would it be best to have the intial response as

    <soap:Envelope namespacing="namespace declaration">
   <soap:Body>
      ${#MockService#property}
   </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

    pull this in and then create the contents, storing the result as a string 

    requestContext.mockService.setPropertyValue('property',<generated xml form as string>)

    Thanks in advance,

    Mo

      Yes precisely that was my point.
