In soapui the XML object used here is from org. W3C. Dom package
So you need to read this article carefully before we can use XML object very well.

Node Types - Return ValuesThe following table lists what the nodeName and the nodeValue properties will return for each node type:Node Type nodeName returns nodeValue returnsDocument #document nullDocumentFragment #document fragment nullDocumentType doctype name nullEntityReference entity reference name nullElement element name nullAttr attribute name attribute valueProcessingInstruction target content of nodeComment #comment comment textText #text content of nodeCDATASection #cdata-section content of nodeEntity entity name nullNotation notation name null

From the soapui you can assert your response XML from the below way:
The default provide script as below:
import com.eviware.soapui.support.XmlHolderdef holder = new XmlHolder( messageExchange.responseContentAsXml )holder.namespaces["ns1"] = "http://ws.cdyne.com/WeatherWS/"def node = holder.getDomNode( "//ns1:GetCityForecastByZIPResponse[1]" )assert node != null
In the instance, it provide these objects we can use:
XmlHolder holder=new XmlHolder(""); Node[] nodes=holder.getDomNodes("xpath"); for(int k=0;k<nodes.length;k++){ NodeList nodelist=nodes[k].getChildNodes(); for(int j=0;j<nodelist.getLength();j++){ Node node=nodelist.item(j); Log.info("node type :"+node.getNodeType()); Short type=node.getNodeType(); if(type==Node.ELEMENT_NODE){ String nodename=node.getNodeName(); int csize=node.getChildNodes().getLength(); String nodevalue=null; if(csize>0){ nodevalue=node.getFirstChild().getNodeValue(); } } } }
Use the above groovy script to assert the response XML content as you want. Hope this save your time.
