How to send XML reponse to groovy script in SoapUI - groovy

Question

Referring to this previous question:
How to access the attribute value of soap UI response XML
I need this script to be dynamic, be able each test run to send a different XML body to parse.
How can this be achieved?
Sample XML
</script>
<form onsubmit="submitAction();return false;" name="submitForm" method="post" action="auth_vbv_browser_authentication.xsl">
<input value="auth_vbv_browser_authentication.xsl" type="hidden" name="AA_CurrentPage"/>
<input value="false" type="hidden" name="TDS_DeviceAuthentication"/>
<input value="0" type="hidden" name="mobileCount"/>
<table width="390" height="400" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1" bgcolor="#e8e8e8" align="center">
<tr>
<td valign="top">
<table width="100%" style="padding:20px;" height="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" bgcolor="#ffffff">

<td valign="top" height="1">

(part of it very long):
I need to get out from this the value of SSID (1710d5e8428fd9d53db2fe7cfb1c79a5af0ecce).
Tried:
def xml = context.response
def holder = new com.eviware.soapui.support.XmlHolder(xml)
//use the xpath to retrieve the desctiption.
def ParRes = holder.getNodeValues("//*:input/#value")
//logging the descriptions
def str = new StringBuilder();
ParRes.each{
if("$it" != "InitAuth" ){
str = "$it"
}
}
return str

Answer 1

It is easy to handle dynamic response and parse it if Script Assertion is used for the same request step where you get the response. Thus an additional groovy script step can be avoided.
All the changed required is to change 1st statement from
def xml = """
static xml content
"""
to
def xml = context.response
And rest of the solution pointed in your question remains same.

Answer 2

As you have not provided complete response so I took only the form tag:
<form onsubmit="submitAction();return false;" name="submitForm" method="post" action="auth_vbv_browser_authentication.xsl">
<input value="auth_vbv_browser_authentication.xsl" type="hidden" name="AA_CurrentPage"/>
<input value="false" type="hidden" name="TDS_DeviceAuthentication"/>
<input value="0" type="hidden" name="mobileCount"/>
<table width="390" height="400" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1" bgcolor="#e8e8e8" align="center">
<tr>
<td valign="top">
<table width="100%" style="padding:20px;" height="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" bgcolor="#ffffff">
<tr>
<td valign="top" height="1">
<img width="140" src="../580655198662148898/auth_issuer_logo_vbv.gif" height="47" border="0" align="left"/>
<img width="89" src="../580655198662148898/auth_vbv_lg.gif" height="51" border="0" align="right"/>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td height="20"/>

<tr>
<td height="1" colspan="3" align="right">

<span style="display:none" name="links">
<a onclick="return openDialog(2,1)" id="langLink_sec" href="#">???</a>
<a style="display:none" id="lang_link_sec">???</a>

<tr>
<td valign="top" height="1">
<font class="auth_Heading_en">Enter Your Authentication Data</font>

<tr>
<td valign="top" height="1">
<font class="auth_TxtMain_en">Please enter your</font>
<font class="auth_TxtMain_en">Verified by VISA Password</font>
<font class="auth_TxtMain_en">in the field(s) below to verify your identity for this purchase. This information is not disclosed to the merchant.</font>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>

</form>
As per my understanding you want the Value of SSID i.e1710d5e8428fd9d53db2fe7cfb1c79a5af0ecce
and you want to transfer this in next step,so why dont you use Property transfer step and provide Xpath as below:
substring-before(substring-after(/form[#onsubmit="submitAction();return false;"]/table[#width="390"]/tr/td[#valign="top"]/table[#width="100%"]/tr[3]/td[#height="1"]/font[#size="-2"]/noscript/a[#href="auth_vbv_browser_authentication.xsl?AA_CurrentPage=auth_vbv_browser_authentication.xsl&AA_Ignore_Pattern=true&AA_LANCODE=1&SSID=1710d5e8428fd9d53db2fe7cfb1c79a5af0ecce&popup=false"]/#href,"SSID="),"&")
result of this Xpath:1710d5e8428fd9d53db2fe7cfb1c79a5af0ecce
I have tested it on my SOAPUI and working fine.Hope this helps
Note: I have copied Xpath from Form tag,Please change the Xpath as per your requirement,you can use online tools to calulate Xpath or any XML editor.
