BeanShell code would work. you could either write your assertions any way you want or you might try
a. Use XPath Extractor to extract the string to a JMeter variable b. Write a BeanShell sampler which returns this variable as the response, c. Use the XPATH assertion as normal. for the above sampler You would have an extra sample in your test results but if you can live with it (And assuming it works, I havent tested) should be the simplest On Mon, Feb 1, 2010 at 12:50 PM, David Levine <[email protected]> wrote: > 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.
