Can't add REST request in test case

hi!

i can't add REST requests in TestCase. i don't understand why. i can add some methods, but not all of them.
even more funny is, that i was able to add them earlier today, but can't do this now.
for example, i can't add "delete_conference Request 1" into "TestCase 1", but i was able to do this 5 hours earlier.
please help me.

here are some logs:
Thu Aug 19 15:30:52 CEST 2010:ERROR:An error occured [java.lang.NullPointerException], see error log for details

    hello,

    yes, it does work now!
    sorry for late replay.

    i have another problem with REST.

    response is returned in JSON format, but soapUI makes XML as well.

    when i try to use propperty transfer (for example) and use data from response XXX in antoher request YYY it does not work.
    it works if i maually type something in XML view in XXX and then delete it, or just add empty line.
    after this XML can be parsed and property transfer works ok.

    with best ragards,
    beno

    Hello,

    I'm not sure I understand what part isn't working. Please be more specific in the steps you take and when it fails. How are you creating the Property Transfer TestStep? Are you using the outline editor of the response, or manually creating it and filling in the XPath? Are you getting any error message?

    Regards,

    Hello,

    Very descriptive image, thank you!
    Hmm... The error about CDATA seems to indicate that there may be a problem with the XML you're getting back. Can you attach the contents of the "Raw" tab for the response?

    Hello,

    I think I've got it now. soapUI is incorrectly creating the Property Transfer to use the "Response" property of the request, which is JSON. When you manually edit the XML, the response is overwritten with the correct XML value, and it then works. In the Property Transfer step, try setting the source Property to use "ResponseAsXml" instead of "Response".
