How to get SoapUI Mock Service to automatically send a response back to the client
Greetings everyone,
I apologize in advance for a question of a very basic nature. New to SoapUI and I am having some difficulty in getting the Mock Service to automatically send a response back to the client (that sent the request). Here is the background...
I have an application, running on a server that makes a call to an external web service to retrieve data (synchronous). I've created a Mock Service in SoapUI (open source version) based on the wsdl of the service called. In my SoapUI project I have created a request and a response to the request which when the request is submitted the proper response is displayed for the request.
Now, I've configured the service on the server to use the Mock Service wsdl address I've created on my local machine running in SoapUI so that when in the client application (running on a remote server) a request is made to return data from the web service it looks to the wsdl of the Mock Service
Now when I create the request in the Client Application I see the request come into the SoapUI project. What I am having difficulty doing at this point is to have the response I have set in SoapUI pass back to the Client Application so that is shows up in the Client App. That is the goal. To be able to use the Mock Service to pass into the client app any response I want to create to any given request to that web service for data the client may create (allows for testing of a larger data set than provided by the web service).
I've searched the web and read/watched a number of tutorials and either haven't found the correct presentation in my searches or didn't see any suggestions on how to do this. I believe it may have something to do with scripting in SoapUI so it will automatically send to the Client Address the response I have created (if true would that scripting be in the Mock Service level..that is the only place I can see to have a request automatically have a response sent).
Any help, pointers, suggestions, or direction to an explanation to this problem that I missed in my searches would be gladly appreciated.
Cheers!
