Hi Ole,

I get this when I stop one of the service, update it, or add a new service and then start the new service.
It apperars that when I stop one of the service, there is some problem with the rest of them.
All of the services use this load script that you kindly advised me to use:
for( ms in project.mockServiceList )
{
    // open window
    def dp = com.eviware.soapui.support.UISupport.showDesktopPanel( ms )

    // start mockservice
    ms.start()

    // minimize window
    com.eviware.soapui.SoapUI.desktop.minimize( dp )
}

This is a different problem but I also noticed that the logs are full of:

I found a way to reproduce the problem.
In my workspace there are 7 services. I remove one of the projects and create/start a new one - this involves stopping a service, removeing the old project, creating a new project and starting the new service.
Then when I try to request some of the other projects I receive this error.

This seems to me a serious problem and it is strange that nobody had it before. Maybe because we use lots of services.

Could it be that this option was NOT checked in my preferences:
Leave MockEngine - Will leave the MockEngine running even when all MockServices have stopped resulting in much faster startup-times for new MockServices and 404 errors when trying to call a stopped MockService (instead of connection failure)

Hi!

hmm.. are all these services on the same port?

Regarding the initial script I provided, please remove the minimize line:

com.eviware.soapui.SoapUI.desktop.minimize( dp )

This will get rid of the null-pointer but will probably cause some other issues.. let me know!

Hi,

These services use the same port. We emulate ESB on which many services are deployed.
What do you think of this config option: Leave MockEngine, could it be the key?

Thanks,

Hi!

yes.. but it shouldn't be required.. I'll try to simulate this..

regards!
