Here is the pattern I typically follow, though I have made some DSL of my own to make it more compact:

exec(
  http( "Some Restful Service" )
    .get( pathToService )
    .check( jsonPath( "$" ).saveAs( "RESPONSE_DATA" ) )
  )
.exec( session => {
  println( "Some Restful Service:" )
  println( session( "RESPONSE_DATA" ).as[String] )
  session
})

If you are doing something other than a JSON web service, you might alter the .check call to be something more like:

.check( bodyString.saveAs( "RESPONSE_DATA" ) )

If you are just starting out, there is a lot to learn about Gatling.  There is no way around it, you are going to have to learn the core principles.  Start by reading the documentation: http://gatling.io/docs/2.0.2/

I have on one question ,

After extracting from json , How will I add it it to map, I have tried the following code,

       var res:Map[String,String] = Map()

       val res_all = res + ("key1" -> ${extracted}) 

       print ("Map res_al:" + res_all)

This says ${extracted} not found

Assuming that you wand to see the response for ALL of your requests you can also change the logger configuration

mvn -Dlogback.configurationFile=conf/logback-debug.xml -Dgatling.simulationClass=XXX gatling:test

whereas my "logback-debug.xml" looks like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<configuration>

<appender name="CONSOLE" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender">

<encoder>

<pattern>%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%-5level] %logger{15} - %msg%n%rEx</pattern>

<immediateFlush>true</immediateFlush>

</encoder>

</appender>

<root level="DEBUG">

<appender-ref ref="CONSOLE" />

</root>

</configuration>
