    It seems soapui does not support of special characters. you just saw the special chareacter once when you copy to soapui.but it will be converted into question mark instead of special characters after restart soapui. the one solution is that to store these special characters in an external file and then import to test step of soapui.

    Thanks,
    Aaron

    Aaron,

    Thanks for the insight. You were right. But i could not import the request to my HTTP teststep.

    But i am trying manually converting ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8 and then posting the converted strings in the request.

    http://www.unicodetools.com/unicode/utf ... verter.php

    this is working. Is there any Groovy or SoapUI internal setting to do this ?

    Thanks
