           Summary: Suggestion, XPath, it should be possible to define
                    namespaces (like in SoapUI)

example of a SoapUI response in need of assertion

I'm trying to validate a SOAP Reply using XPATH:s. The problem is that it's got
an embedded document in the reply, with its own namespace.

The problem is that I can't xpath on that embedded reply. I believa that this
is a known limitation on the xpath processor used in XPATH extractor/asserter.
I've also seen the workaround, using localName() of the node. For my specific
needs, this is not that usable, since I need to qualify my assertion on an
attribute value.

In SoapUI:s xpath-asserter/extracter, you can define a list of
prefix/namespaces for the xpath. That would really solve all my needs! Would
that be a feasible enhancement for the JMeter xpath-asserter/extractor?

I've attached an xml result below.

The xpath-assertion I would need is: 

//ns2:term[@ns2:id="W13105"]

and that would be easy enough if I just could define a prefix namespace pair,
like in SoapUI:

"ns2"     "http://www.uc.se/schemas/ucOrderReply/"

Thanks for your reply,
Yes, your suggestion sort of works for me. The only issue with it is that thr
namespace declarations effectivly becomes a part of the JMeter installation,
not of the JMeter project, at hand.

Or can I reference a file relative to the project file location?

Best Regards
Ingemar

This is already possible using property:
xpath.namespace.config 
in jmeter.properties.

See:
http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/component_reference.html#XPath_Assertion


If that does not work for you then please provide the full XML including
namespaces, current attachement is not enough.
