REST View Problem in soapUI 2.5.1 (and nightly builds 2.5.2)

Hi all,

I call a rest service and the result is a json string. The result is not identified as "json".  In the json tab there is just a message . Any ideas?
Is the content-type necessary to detect the json answer?

Regards,
Jan

    Hi stoeve,


    Current implementation of REST support in soapUI would accept response entity data as JSON if Content-Type contains either "javascript" or "json".
    Regardless of that, your JSON data sources should prefer using Content-type: application/json since it is the official media type registered at IANA.


    Cheers!

    Hi Shonzilla,

    thanks for the reply. I changed the content type and everything works fine now.
