[QUESTION] Regex with XML in request.file and response.file

We’re using Stubby4J to mock a SOAP API but we’re having issues extracting values from the request and injecting them into the response.

The stub config is similar to the following (removed project specific naming):

- request:
    method: POST
    url: /path/SomeService
    file: ./requests/ExpectedRequestFormat.xml
 
  response:
    status: 200
    headers:
      content-type: application/xml
    file: ./data/SomeServiceResponse.xml

In ExpectedRequestFormat.xml we have multiple instances of the following:

<ns:SomeElement>${xmlunit.matchesRegex(.*)}</ns:SomeElement>

And in SomeServiceResponse.xml we have:

<ns:SomeOtherElement><% file.1 %></ns:SomeOtherElement>

We have also tried the following:

<ns:SomeOtherElement><% post.1 %></ns:SomeOtherElement>
<ns:SomeOtherElement><% request.file.1 %></ns:SomeOtherElement>
<ns:SomeOtherElement><% request.post.1 %></ns:SomeOtherElement>

However the response is always the raw XML file with no injection of values.

Any ideas what we are doing wrong?

@itsjxck, just FYI:

stubby4j Docker images that use log4j2 and that were affected as a result of recent log4j2 vulnerabilities: CVE-2021-44228 and CVE-2021-45046 (i.e.: latest and <= v7.5.0) have been re-built as part of the mitigation effort captured by the following ticket https://github.com/azagniotov/stubby4j/issues/416

@itsjxck , I pushed azagniotov/stubby4j:7.5.0-jre11, in case if you want to be fixed to a specific tag. It has all the behavior we tested, and some more (all of that was in the master already anyways): https://github.com/azagniotov/stubby4j/blob/master/docs/CHANGELOG.md#750

Cheers
