awaiting several asynchronuos requests

Hi,

I try to realize a test case for the following use case:
After receiving a request and respondign it the interface awaites several different requests without knowing which request comes first.
How can I realize:
- responding the initial request (by using test step 'Mock response')
- waiting for any request receiving
- checking which request has been received
- waiting a defined time for a second and third request (any request of the WSDL definition)
- raising an asertion in case of timeout

Is there any e3xample available?
CXan you give me any hint how to solve the problem?

Thanks in advance
Greetings

    Hello!

    Awaiting multiple non-ordered requests is currently not possible (easily).

    What you could do is using a DataGen-loop and then use MockResponse TestStep with a Script Assertion (containing multiple logical assertions that are OR-ed together). This will get a little bit easier in soapUI 4.5.

    The above workaround requires that you know Groovy Scripting quite well.

    Thanks for the answer.
    I'm testing the following workaround:
    creating a test case waiting for the initial SOAP request.
    creating some more test cases awaiting and handling the unordered SOAP requests expected.
    When the initial request occures a script test step calls the other test cases asynchronuously.

    I'm not quite shure whether this workaround works.
    Any idea?

    Neat idea! I don't see any reason why that shouldn't work.

    Good luck!

    What about just having the 3 test cases in one test suite and running them in parallel from the test suite panel? If you set their timeouts, a failure of a test case will indicate a timeout for that response.
