I have been playing with the webservice sampler for a couple of weeks,
and I the regexp extractor is working well for me.
I have a scenario which is similar to yours:
1) one webservice creates a customer account, and the request contains
the newly created customer ID, which is an integer between 5 and 8 digits
2) with that ID, I need to do one more operation (say, change the password)
What I have is a regexp extractor like this
Reference Name: CustomerID
Regular Expression: (<addCustomerReturn
xsi:type="xsd:int">)([\d]{5,8})(</addCustomerReturn>)
Template: $2$
Match: 1
Default value: INVALID_ID
The idea is to use groups to make sure you don't match any random
integer, but exactly the customer ID, then with the template specify
that you want group 2.
In request 2 you can then use ${CustomerID}
I suggest to set the default value to something that will show very
clearly in request 2 in case the regexp extraction went wrong in request 1
Variable substitution works if you have online XML, not yet if you use a
file.
hope this helps

Thanks Peter. I will try, but does not seem feasible.

the current webservice sampler is very basic. One of the major challenges
with test SOAP is the response is stuck inside some XML, so you'd have to
use Regexp to parse out the value and then use it in a subsequent request.
to do that, make sure memory cache is turned off. In theory, a variable in
the request soap message "should" get replaced and then sent.
