Default headers for all resources

Is there any way in ReadAPI 1.5 and SoapUI NG to create a default header that will be used across all resources? We have a standard set of headers (such as X-Requested-By) that need to be included wi...

You can use Events - Before run of a test step.

Thanks, I ended up creating a RequestFilter.filterRequest event handler with a script like the following:

def headers = request.requestHeaders
headers["X-Requested-By"] = ["test"] request.requestHeaders = headers

Update: Be careful to set headers to a new List rather than using the add method because this actually modifies the request definition rather than the outgoing request instance. The add method will keep adding a new copy of the header on every run

  Hi,
  
  Im new to SOAP UI and i came across this post and used RequestFilter.filterRequest to be used as a global header. However, as mentioned in the post below "add method will keep adding a new copy of the header on every run" - as seen in the image attached every time i run the the TestCase 1 test suite, the "Headers(4)" tab increments by 2 as there are 2 headers. After i run the TestCase many times, the test steps dont run any more as the Header are keep on adding on top.
  
  May i know how can i set the header as global but not get incremented everytinme i run the test case?
  
  Thanks for helping,
  Sudha

  Hi,
  
  I tried to update in the OnRequest script, the header of the request by using the code below, I have this error :
  
  import com.eviware.soapui.support.types.StringToStringMap
  def headers = mockRequest.requestHeaders//.each {log.info it}
  def header = new StringToStringMap(headers)
  header.remove('SOAPAction')
  
  log.info header
  
  mockRequest.requestHeaders = header; // the error comes from this line.
  
  com.eviware.soapui.impl.wsdl.mock.DispatchException: Failed to dispatch using script; groovy.lang.ReadOnlyPropertyException: Cannot set readonly property: requestHeaders for class: com.eviware.soapui.impl.wsdl.mock.WsdlMockRequest.
  
  Can you help me?
