SoapUI open source - How to extract XML response and use in next API request

SoapUI request-response chaining
2 Ways
1st way : Property Transfer step

Step 1 : Add the api requests in a test case

Step 2 : Add property transfer step

Step 3 : Create a new property transfer

Step 4 : Provide source and target details

Step 5 : Click on ns: and provide xpath for source and target

2nd way : Groovy script

def response =

def object = new XmlSlurper().parseText(response)

${MyProperties#addResult}

What a great tutorial. I still can follow your steps in SOAPUI 5 years after your presentation.

I used this on my project at work and it did the job perfectly. I feared I would run into problems but it was pretty easy. Thank you.

[PieterSmuts-iuyq]

So good, so well presented and easy to understand. Many thanks for your time!!

Hi Raghav, very nice and clean how-to video. Helped me on the spot. Especially the live notes are a very nice service. Create more of it. You have a talent for these things I'd say. Thumbs up :-). Cheers, Michael

Thank you Raghav. Some great videos and training. I need to save the soap response to Excel. Is there a video for this? Thank you john

Next question if I may.

At work I make xml requests with a section of code that can be repeated to input different objects with the same attributes, each of which is surrounded by <row> and </row>. The response can also include multiple objects of the same type with unique values in their attributes.

Is there a way of cycling through the response and creating a set of properties contain values for the separate returned objects, or feed the repeated returns into repeated in puts of a second request?

Does that make sense and do you have a video about it? I'm guessing Groovy could come into this.

Hi Raghav,
I have a REST API GET request, which returns a HTML response in XML tab. Tried using 'Property Transfer', firstly I am not able to add namespaces clicking on 'ns:' button, it says 'Error: Property Source is not a Request', so I just gave the XPath to extract a value from on of the input field, transfer log says- '[error: </HEAD> does not close tag <META>.].
When using Groovy, I see this error- lineNumber: 114; column number: 3; The element type "META" must be terminated by the matching end-tag"". error at line: 3"

Which seems to me like not to be using XML parser but some other parser, since the content-type in response is "text/html; character=UTF-8". Please suggest

Hi Raghav,
Thank you so much for creating this series. I have a question on How can I use the property value as a parameter in the next step? Not in the body of the request but a parameter in the URI?

[bhavyaparimi]

Hi, thanks for the video. I tried groovy script as shown in the video for passing the value of a SOAP response in to REST request but it didnt woek. I need to pass the value in to the REST GET endpoint. DO I need to do anything different from what is shown in the video?

[mysticfalls]

Would have been helpful if you had showed for REST services too

[saadatchowdhury]

Very clear and Nice explanation. I'm tryign to create a data driven framewrok from Excel file using the same WSDL as yours. I'm able to read the data from excel. I have 2 columns First_Num and Second_Num. Now i like to add one new column and write the reponse result. Could you plz help me with this

[deLuka]

Hello, could you please help how to extract the desired XML tag values from the mock service request and forward them into the request message, into appropriate tags?

[vikasdhanorkar]

Thanks for the video, i followed same steps but i am getting "no such property error" on XMLSlurper

def responseValue=
def object1 = new
def value= object1.text()
testRunner.testCase.getTestStepByName('myProperty').getPropertyValue('addResult', value)

Error: No such property: response for class: Script2

Hi Raghav this 23 video is sufficient to do any of the project task by client in the company ?

[umaairtel]

def response = step
def object = new

def value =

log.info(value)
xpath I'm getting in xml Grid =

when I try to print the value using log info...its printing blank. Please help me

[rajendraprasad]

Hello Sir, How I can test this type of Scenario using SoapUI : Verify XYZ Application receives data from the ABC via WebService

[umaairtel]

it will be great if we get the count of nodes in Xml file for particular element from response
