Hi Shawn,
if I correctly understand, you have properties like
categ.name.0=first categ
categ.name.1=second categ
...
and want to iterate over this categs. Right?
The repeat loop provides the counter variable but nested properties
evaluation like ${categ.name.#{counter}} is currently not available. The
workaround is to externalize the body of your repeat loop in a macro:
<macrodef name="myRepeatBody">
<attribute name="index" description="the current loop index"/>
<sequentials>
<setInputField forLabel="Category" value="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"/>
...
</sequentials>
</macrodef>
and
<webtest ...>
...
<repeat count="...">
<myRepeatBody index="#{counter}"/>
</repeat>
</webtest>
Happy Testing,
Marc.

I am fairly new to WebTest, but so far, I've been able to accomplish
just about everything I need to. However, I am stuck at this particular
requirement.
Our app builds expense reports, and each expense entry references an
expense category. I am writing tests to exercise the expense category
maintenance portion of the app. What I want to do is create a property
file that contains the parameters for a dozen or so expense categories.
I then need my WebTest case to create each of these categories in a
loop, using <repeat> or some other construct. I DON'T want to have to
create the same XML instructions a dozen or more times to construct the
categories in a linear fashion.
I have spent hours digging through the newsgroup and mailing list
archives, and I cannot find an example similar to what I am trying to
do. This seems like such a common task to me - surely someone else has
had a similar requirement. How do I accomplish this?
Thanks,
