Hello, XML assertion only checks that response is well-formed XML by parsing the file using JDom 1.X which is now deprecated.
I personally don't find it very useful and have never used it. So I would tend to drop it. But if we decide to keep it, then at least we should drop jdom dependency by just using a javax SAXParser instead of:http://www.jdom.org/docs/apidocs.1.1/org/jdom/input/SAXBuilder.html I have attached the patch dropping jdom. If you are OK, I will commit it. See: https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=59156 Thanks Regards
