Utilizing the Maven2 Plugin

Question

I am currently using the SoapUI gui to create and test our deployed web services and have been asked to look into integrating the test cases with our builds using maven.

Now this may be more of a maven question than a soap ui question, but is there a way to run the tests on the code that has just been built? I added the necessary information to my pom and ran mvn install. The tests were executed, but it wasn't against the current code base, I think it was against what is already deployed on the app server.

At first I didn't understand how SOAP UI could test the web service w/o having it deployed to the app server first, but I thought maybe this was possible.

Sorry for rambling, but here's what I'm looking for in a nutshell:

a way to incorporate the soap ui tests in the maven build process

the soap-ui test cases to be executed against the current code base

If anyone has experience with this please share your ideas on how to accomplish this if it's even possible. I am also looking for any best practices for the soap-ui/maven integration process.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi, I am using the plugin after starting a local jetty in the maven integration-test phase. That means the folowing pom-snipped works by calling mvn integration-test -Psoap-test in my war-goaled application.Hope it helps.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; soap-test&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;
