How to use the result of jsonPath as a body in a forthcoming request

Hi there,

we parsed a response-body with jsonPath and save the result in the session:
.check(jsonPath("[0]").saveAs(“XXX”)

What is the best way to use ${XXX} as a body in a forthcoming request?

We use Gatling-nightly build from May

Hi Stéphane,
we tried both
body(StringBody("${XXX}") and

The response body which is saved as XXX is a genuine JSON object of kind {“foo” : “baz”}, but the session contains XXX-> {foo = baz} which is not a JSON object.

OK, get it.
Please open a feature request.
