I am very new to ERLANG and TSung, I never worked in this areas, but I am very much keen to know the fundamentals and do distributed load test for my web application. I am in half the way to complete, but I have a big hurdle and not able to moving forward , please read below tsung.xml
file and advise me where & what I am missing?
**===> tsung.xml (this file perfectly working without any errors)**
*<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE tsung SYSTEM "/usr/share/tsung/tsung-1.0.dtd">

<dyn_variable name="myId" re="<myId>(\.*)\</myId>"/> <-- Trying with RegExp option, not getting the value myId
<!--dyn_variable name="myId" xpath="//response/myId" /--> <-- Trying with xpath option, not getting the value myId

<http url='http://127.000.000.112/Create_Rec' method='POST' version='1.1' content_type='text/xml'/>
</request>
<request subst="true">

</request>
</transaction>
</session>
</sessions>
</tsung>*
When I run this url (it is web service call) "http://_127.000.000.112/Create_Rec" in the web browser, I get the following similar response from Server (in the back ground it creates the record in database and generates new id i.e. myId). When I run above tsung.xml, the first request working perfectly fine as I expected.
===> response (browser response)
<response id="SomeWebService">
<status>
<statusCode>1</statusCode>
<statusMsg>SomeMessage</statusMsg>
<statusTime>2013-06-20 02:52:25</statusTime>
</status>
<myId>298346728934734987</myId>
</response>
What I am looking here, I need to grab the myId from first request and pass into second request myId=%%_myId%%, but it is never working and myId always empty string. I am beyond of dyn_variable since two days, no clue and proper examples/documentation on it. Please suggest me, what I am missing.
