WireMock bodyPatterns XML Match regex - regex

Question

I am using WireMock to mock SOA service, but I have an issue with the bodyPattern XML, can I use regex inside XML?
My request header is changing based on the request time, I just want to match anything inside the header.
{
"request" : {
"url" : "/service/v1/WebService",
"method" : "POST",
"bodyPatterns" : [ {
"equalToXml" :"\\Q<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV=\"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/\"><SOAP-ENV:Header>
<SOAP-ENV:Header>
I want to match whatever inside header.
</SOAP-ENV:Header>
} ]
},

Answer 1

For example your request is something like below,
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ex="http://example.com">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<ex:somebody>
<ex:input>
<ex:name>John</ex:name>
<ex:phone>7414444</ex:phone>
<ex:role>teacher</ex:role>
</ex:input>
</ex:somebody>
</soapenv:Body>
then your JSON file could be,
{
"request" : {
"url" : "/service/v1/WebService",
"bodyPatterns" : [ {
"matchesXPath": "//ex:input[ex:name=\"John\" and xw:phone=\"7414444\"]",
"xPathNamespaces" : {
"ex" : "http://example.com"
}
}]
},
"response" : {
"status" : 200,
"headers": {
"Content-Type": "text/xml;charset=UTF-8"
},
"body" : "<Abody>"
}}

You can use Xpath to arrive at same result
"bodyPatterns": [
{
"matchesXPath": "your xpath"
}
