DataSource Step in SOAPUI Pro 3.0

I am receiving a java Null Pointer exception using a DataSource step that utilizes property expansion. The same step works fine in SOAPUI Pro 2.0.2 and the word 'replacement' shows up in the exception pop-up.

What might be causing this error??!!

    Hi Jim,

    hmm.. are you getting any errors in the error log that you can attach here? Have you tried the 3.0.1 release?

    regards!

    I think I found the issue - the 3.0 release has a 'password' field that I was passing in the connection string in version 2.0.2

    I guess I will just have to update all my test cases that have DataSource steps and add the password for the JDBC connection.

    Hi Jim,

    could you just check 3.0.1? We made some improvements in this regard, you shouldn't be forced to update all your testcases.

    If 3.0.1 doesn't help, can you give a little more details so I can try to fix this in the upcoming nightly build?

    regards!

    I upgraded to version 3.0.1 and the JDBC connections work without filling in the Password field.

    I noticed that you can now create project level JDBC connections, how would I reference those in a new test case?

    Thanks!

    Hi Jim,

    Both the DataSource and DataSink TestSteps now have a new "Data Connection" option which uses a project-level connection instead of a "local" one.

    regards!
