How this template works
APIs Selection
The template uses API selection filters to specify the criteria for selecting the APIs to be tested. In this case, the filters include checking the response code to be between 200 and 299 and extracting the URL from the response.
Execute request
The template uses the execute section to define the type of request to be executed. In this case, it is a single request. The request is modified by appending "/struts/webconsole.html?debug=console" to the extracted URL.
Validation
The template uses the validate section to define the validation criteria for the response. It checks that the response code is 200 and that the response payload contains the string "Welcome to the OGNL console!".
