Deploying Mock Services as War File

With soapUI 3.6, 3.6.1 and 3.6.2-Snapshot I tried to create a war file based on Mock Service as described in http://www.soapui.org/Service-Mocking/d ... files.html.
Unfortunately I was not able to create a war File at all. I only saw the unpacked structure. Finally I was able to deploy the folder content under webapps of my Tomcat, but the behaviour of the new web context was strange. I definitely could receive the wsdl from this mock service deployed under Tomcat. Accessing the Mock Services with soapUI was not possible. I always got the java.net.ConnectException.

Anybody else out there who was successful? I am not using the pro version. Are there limitations in this area?

    Hi!

    hmm.. are you getting any errors in your server log?

    Which version of Tomcat are you using?

    regards!

    Hi

    In discussion with a colleague I realized that I have to provide the full path for the war file. I always assumed the war file would end up in the folder I provided for the value "war directory". If you change the documentation and just provide the line "C:\Temp\soapuimocks.war" instead of just "soapuimocks.war" there will be no doubt anymore where the war file is going to be stored.

    Now I used to deploy the war file into my tomcat 5.5.31 on Windows Vista. I am able to access the wsdl file under http://localhost:8080/calculator/mockCa ... nding?wsdl

    But accessing http://localhost:8080/calculator gives me a content with 3 frames each saying me something like
    HTTP Status 404 - /master

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    type Status report

    message /master

    description The requested resource (/master) is not available.


    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Apache Tomcat/5.5.31

    However running a sample request from within soapUI upon the endpoint http://localhost:8080/calculator/mockCa ... ortBinding results in a java.net.ConnectException. What is the endpoint URL I am supposed to use instead?

    Hi!

    hmm.. what endpoint do you get from the exposed WSDL? (ie if you import that into soapUI)

    regards!

    It is unbelievable. Based on a discussion I found on the internet I decided to test with tomcat 6 instead of 5. Now I verified using a tomcat 6.0.29 instead of 5.5.23. The java.net.ConnectException has gone. I can access the mock service from nettool as well as from soapUI.

    So this issue is solved.
