How to use xpath extractor in jmeter

Below is a sample response from Jmeter tool

        <ns2:Attribute Name="GUID" NameFormat="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:attrname-format:unspecified">
            <ns2:AttributeValue>8b0f3dfe-21d3-1035-a063-f6571edcc101</ns2:AttributeValue>
        </ns2:Attribute>
        <ns2:Attribute Name="SCODES" NameFormat="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:attrname-format:unspecified">
            <ns2:AttributeValue>S0336492^S0309824</ns2:AttributeValue>
        </ns2:Attribute>
        <ns2:Attribute Name="MODE" NameFormat="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:attrname-format:unspecified">
            <ns2:AttributeValue>2</ns2:AttributeValue>
        </ns2:Attribute>
    </ns2:AttributeStatement>

I need to extract "AttributeValue>2" from the response. Tried using regex but that isn't working here. Can we do it with xpath extractor? Any help would be appreciated.

Disclaimer: the below XPath query isn't guaranteed to work as I need to see full response, next time please provide as much information as you can:

  1. Using local-name function like:

    //*[local-name()='Attribute']/text()='MODE'/child::*/text()

  2. Using XPath Namespaces functionality:

    • define ns2 namespace under namespaces.config file (lives in the "bin" folder of your JMeter installation)
    • restart JMeter to pick the property up

    • you should be able to use the following XPath query 

      //Attribute[@Name='MODE']/AttributeValue/text()

See Using the XPath Extractor in JMeter guide for more information.
