Hi,
I’ve got a situation where my WebService (SOAP) Request is returning a
string which happens to be a nested XML document with its own schema. So
it's an XML document nested inside the XML document returned by the SOAP
call. Consequently, XPath can’t interpret the structure of the nested XML
document, so I have to treat it as a string and for example use the XPath
contains() function.
Is there any way I can write an XPath Assertion against this nested XML
document in such a way that it interprets the structure of the nested XML?
I thought about trying to do it in two steps that might be:
Step 1: Use XPath Extractor to extract the string to a JMeter
variable
Step 2: Use XPath Assertion on the variable as opposed to
sampler output
But I don’t think there’s any way to do step #2. Is there any relatively
simple way to do what I want to do?
My fallback is to use the XPath contains() function to do substring
searching on the nested XML, but unfortunately since match() is not
supported, this is very fragile.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
David
