How to get name of xml node with tExtractXmlFields

[droth]

Hello,

i'm trying to extract the name of an Xml Node with tExtractXmlFields.

This works fine for my first usecase, but for the second use cases i'm facing a problem.

The Problem is, that the node i'm trying to get the name from has a xmlns-attribute.

Error: 

<myFunctionResponse xmlns="http://tempuri.org/Webservice/Function">

Works fine: 

<soap:Envelope ...  xmlns:web="http://tempuri.org/Webservice/Function">

...

<web:myFunctionResponse>

I am getting the following error:

Exception in component tExtractXMLField_1
java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: -1

My XPath-Query:

"name(//soap:Envelop/soap:Body/*[1])"

also tried with:

"local-name(//soap:Envelop/soap:Body/*[1])"

"name(//soap:Envelop/soap:Body/*[@xmlns='http://tempuri.org/Webservice/Function'])"

Does anyone can help me on how to fix it?

Best regards,

Dominik

Found out the solution by myself.

Just put "name(...)" around the xpath expression like "name(//*[1])".

Make sure that "Get Nodes" is checked too.
