Hi folks,
I'm new to JMeter. This is my first attempt at using it to performance
test a Web Services application. I have a web services call that
results in an XML body response. In the response is the following (I'm
paraphrasing this):
<soap:Envelope><soapenv:Body><getChallengeReturn><challenge><item><Row>0
</Row><Column>0</Column></item><item><Row>4</Row><Column>3</Column></ite
m><item><Row>1</Row><Column>4</Column></item></challenge>
Before the next web services request, I need to parse out all of the
"coordinate" data, find the correct answers, then add them dynamically
into the next web services call. I've done this as follows:
Challenge Request
- XPath Extractor
Challenge Response
- BeanShell PreProcessor
Inside the XPath Extractor, I have the following:
//soapenv:Envelope//soapenv:Body//getChallengeReturn//challenge/* w/ a
default value of not_found
Inside the BeanShell PreProcessor, I'm just printing to the console what
I'm getting. And I'm getting nothing: grid_val=not_found
I was hoping my XPath query would grab everything between the
<challenge></challenge> tags and then I could parse it within the
BeanShellPreProcessor. Am I going about this the wrong way? I need
access to all of the matched Row/Column "items" in the XML above within
the BeanShellPreProcessor. Should I just use a regex and grab the whole
string or the whole body response? Is there a smarter XPath query?
Thanks for the help.
Shawn
