Allows you to specify an XML-format template that will be used to automatically populate the expected XML response when generating XPath parameters (e.g. in the message request XPath dialogs for data source correlation and responder correlation or in the multiple response XPath dialog).
...
If you already have a data source that specifies values for request parameters and the desired corresponding response parameters, you can use those values as follows:
- Add the data source (as described in Adding a see Understanding How Virtualize Uses Data Sources).
- Configure the Message Responder’s data source mapping with the appropriate request columns (as described in Data Source Correlation Tab).
...
- Use the procedure described in in Generating a Data Source Template for Populating Message Elements 1 to create a CSV file from the Form Input view of the Message Responder tool. A data source will be generated and added to the responder suite. This generated data source will contain columns for responses. The Message Responder tool’s Form Input view will be parameterized automatically.
- Add a new data source column (e.g., using Excel, OpenOffice or a similar spreadsheet application) for each request parameter that should be used to determine the response. Wildcards can be used.
- Configure the Message Responder’s data source mapping with the new request columns you added. See Data Source Correlation Tab for details.
- Add new rows to the data source (e.g., using Excel, OpenOffice or a similar spreadsheet application) in order to specify values for request parameters and the desired corresponding response parameters.
