This is yet an another powerful feature in the product. And uses are numerous depending on the need.

Event handling allows user to do many things on demand yet dynamically & granular and here some general use cases
- manipulate the requests & responses before submitting the request and after step respectively.
- adding common headers such as Authentication / token / jms headers
- filter by request type so that not all requests being processed.

It's just awesome feature.

However, this feature is limited to Pro software only.
I am a fan of Open Source edition. Came up with below extension (couple of years ago) so that the events feature can be leveraged for SoapUI OS too.

      The information is being shared whenever particular use case / context arrives.
      Of course, those will be gone /forgotten over time or new users come and fail to search by right keywords.
      Most of the times, share the existing threads whenever the same question is repeated.

      Yes, the community events brings freshness to the content again, bringing enthusiasm in the community. Good to have them.

      You are bringing good points to the discussions which is awesome, thanks for the efforts!
