How this template works
APIs Selection
The API selection filters in this template specify the criteria for selecting the desired API endpoint. In this case, the filters include the response code range (between 200 and 299) and the extraction of the URL into a variable called "urlVar".
Execute request
The execute section of the template defines the execution type as "single" and specifies the request to be made. In this case, the request is modified by appending "?debug=xml" to the extracted URL variable. This modification is performed using the "modify_url" action. The modified request is then executed.
Validation
The validation section defines the validation criteria for the response payload. In this template, the response payload is checked to contain either "<debug>", "<struts.actionMapping>", or "Stacktraces". If any of these elements are present in the response, the validation is considered successful.
