Xpath extractor - xpath

Can someone help me with this:
I am using xpath extractor of jmeter to retrieve sessionId value from the below response.
I need the value of the sessionId to be stored in some file, so that i can use that value in succeeding calls..My basic response is as below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<ns2:createUserResponse xmlns:ns2="http://www.musicthp.com"
isNewUser="false"
profileId="32109"
sessionId="ryIlb+E5yj7FReA2w96uag=="
success="true">
<duration>316</duration>
</ns2:createUserResponse>`

In order to use the results in a future call, you simply need to use the "Reference Name" as a variable.
If you configure the Xpath Extractor reference name as sessionID, subsequent calls would use ${sessionID}

JMeter class javax.faces.el.EvaluationException<

Can some one help me fix this issue in JMeter?
I already use my Regular Expression Extractor after editing javax.face
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<partial-response><error><error-name>class javax.faces.el.EvaluationException</error-name><error-message><![CDATA[See your server log [enter image description here][1]for more information]]></error-message></error></partial-response>
Most probably your regular expression extractor fails somewhere somehow, double check that it is returning the expected value using Debug Sampler and View Results Tree listener combination.
Also using regular expressions might not be the best idea, if you're extracting Viewstate from the HTML response - it might be a better idea to consider using CSS Selector Extractor instead

JMeter jp#gc Parametrized controller - construct object from variables

How to construct an object with attributes taken only from jp#gc-Parametrized controller user defined variables list, that can be used for building dynamically xml/json data structures for HTTP Sampler later on?
Controller variables:
XML structure for HTTP request body:
Example 1:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<login>
<username>someUser</username>
<password>1234</password>
</login>
Assuming your above Parameterized Controller setup you can refer the declared variables like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<login>
<username>${username}</username>
<password>${password}</password>
</login>
Which will result into variables substitution in the runtime with their respective values which can be checked using i..e View Results Tree listener :
Check out JMeter Parameterization - The Complete Guide article for more information on various approaches to JMeter test parameterization.
It's saving JMeter variables, so you can use ${} syntax
<userName>${username}</userName>
<password>${password}</password>
To get dynamically variables in XML Body use the following sample
import java.util.stream.StreamSupport;
String xmlBody="<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?><login>";
StreamSupport.stream(Spliterators.spliteratorUnknownSize(vars.getIterator(), Spliterator.ORDERED), false).forEach(
e -> xmlBody+="<" +e.getKey() + ">" +e.getValue() + "</" +e.getKey() + ">");
xmlBody += "</login>";
log.info(xmlBody);

How can i get this value with XPATH in JMeter

I have a webservice response as such :
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope">
<soap:Body>
<FileResponse xmlns="http://xxx.x.sx.be">
<id>090150e080249d09</id>
</FileResponse>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
I am trying to extract the value of "id" but i can't seem to figure out the right query. I used an online generator which provided :
/soap:Envelope[#xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope"]/soap:Body/FileResponse[#xmlns="http://xxx.x.sx.be"]/id/text()
But it doesn't seem to work in Jmeter as the response is always null.
I found this to be the answer : //*[local-name() = 'id']
Your test for the namespace is invalid. Xpath queries do not support this.
Instead you will need to JMeter to pass in the namespaces declarations along with the xpath query. I dont know how JMeter does that but I can give you an xpath expression that may work around it.
//*[local-name()='FileResponse']/*[local-name()="id"]/text()
The xpath will test the name of the node and ignoring the namespaces. Its not recomended practice to test without namespaces and could be slow but it'll work.

How to extract a response value when doing http post using Jmeter

Can anyone please help me here? I'm trying to do an http post in Jmeter, http works fine, but I'd like to extract the LastName value from the response to use in next http request. I've tried several methods using Xpath Extractor but the Debug sampler shows nothing. I've added XPath_Extractor as a child of HTTP Sampler.
what am I doing wrong here?
Here is what I setup in the XPath Extractor
Reference Name = lstname (which is the variable I carry to next http request)
XPath Query = //*[local-name()='LastName']/text()
also tried
/Reply/CustomerData/#LastName
Main Sample checked
Use NameSpaces- checked
Ingnore whitepspaces checked
Here is my http response
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<dm:reply xmlns:dm="http://www.xx.com/dm" version="1.0">
<Session>
<TimeDate CurrentDateTime="2015-12-16T08:57:21" CurrentMilliseconds="2881062362"/>
<Reply type="Connection">
<ErrorMessage/>
<ErrorCode>0</ErrorCode>
</Reply>
<TimeDate CurrentDateTime="2015-12-16T08:57:21" CurrentMilliseconds="2881062504"/>
<Reply type="Execute">
<CustomerData FirstName="" LastName="Moni" Address="SD" Chassis="AWD" CountryOfBirth="" CountryOfOriginFullName= Year="2010">
<RecordSet>
</RecordSet>
<ErrorMessage/>
<ErrorCode>0</ErrorCode>
</CustomerData>
</Reply>
<TimeDate CurrentDateTime="2015-12-16T08:57:21" CurrentMilliseconds="2881062590"/>
</Session>
</dm:reply>
You can use regular expression extractor - Post Processor to achieve this.
You need to fill in following parameters
Reference Name: LastName
The regular expression (would look like): LastName="(.*?)"
Template: $1$
Match : 1
Default Value: NotFound
Use ${LastName} in next request to access extracted value of LastName.
Add debug sampler to check if you are extracting correct value.
Why do you need all this namespaces stuff?
Don't check any boxes in the extractor
Use //CustomerData/#LastName as XPath expression
That's it
By the way, you can evaluate XPath Expressions directly against response using XPath Tester mode of the View Results Tree listener. See How to debug your Apache JMeter script article for more tips on getting to the bottom of your JMeter test issue.

Xpath Post Processor : extract node content from a SOAP response

I have a soap response of this form
<S:Envelope xmlns:S="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<S:Body>
<ns2:Responseto xmlns:ns2="http://xyz.company.com/">
<return>
<objectContent xsi:type="xs:string" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">/path/to/file.txt</objectContent>
<objectType>FILEPATH</objectType>
<rid>111</rid>
<sid>2</sid>
</return>
</ns2:Responseto>
</S:Body>
</S:Envelope>
I wish to extract the object content in jmeter in order to feed to an xpath assertion.
Can anyone suggest how to do this?
I tried //return/objectType but then the DebugSampler shows me that the value of my variable is blank.
Put you XPath Extractor as a child of the Request that has the response you mention.
Configure the extractor like this:
"Main Sample" Only
"Use Namespaces" checked
"Ignore Whitespaces" checked
"Return entire XPath fragment instead of text content" Unchecked
"XPath query" : //return/objectType
I tested it it works.
