Originally created by @msutar021 on GitHub (Jul 9, 2021).

I want to create a mock response for SOAP service which accepts XML request . I'm using XPathMatcher for request matching. Request is matching is done successfully. I need to read one attribute of request.body and create the response using that.
My XML request is like this. I need the token id to create the response body.

Request.txt

         </req:TokenIdLijst>
      </req:RdplDbTknLystByOvkLyst_REQ>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

I am using the below matcher models while creating mapping for the request.

  var matcherModel = new MatcherModel
            {
                Name = "WildcardMatcher",
                Pattern = "/xpathsoap",
                RejectOnMatch = false,
                IgnoreCase = true
            };

            var bodymatcherModel = new MatcherModel
            {
                Name = "XPathMatcher",
                Pattern = "//*[local-name() = 'RdplDbTknLystByOvkLyst_REQ']",
                IgnoreCase = true
            }; 
           
            var matcherModels = new[] { matcherModel };
            var pathModel = new PathModel { Matchers = matcherModels };

            var bodymatcherModels = new[] { bodymatcherModel };
            var BodyModel = new BodyModel { Matchers = bodymatcherModels };

            var requestModel = new RequestModel { Path = pathModel,  Body = BodyModel };
            return requestModel;

And response model in mapping

 IDictionary<string, object> header = new Dictionary<string, object>();
 header.Add("Content-Type", "Application/xml");

return new ResponseModel()
            {
                StatusCode = 201,
                Headers = header,
                Body = "{{ XPath.SelectNodes request.body \"//TokenIdLijst\"}}",
                UseTransformer = true
            };

The above code returns response as blank. I get whole request in the response.body if i use the below code without xpath

var response =  new ResponseModel()
            {
                StatusCode = 201,
                Headers = header,
                Body = "{{ request.body }}",
                UseTransformer = true
            };

I tried different examples of using xpath but nothing works. Where is the mistake, i could not find.

Please suggest..

Take a look at:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56933756/how-to-create-xpath-for-soap-header-and-body

In your case, I think you can use:

//*[local-name()='TokenIdLijst']

I have tried this, it is not working; Response is null.
