external Scriptfolder and wargenerator

Hi,

I use the feature of the external Script-folder in SoapUI. Like you explain in your tutorials, I set the path in the SoapUI-Preferences. In the Script-Folder I have some subdirectories that contain .groovy files. It works fine!
Now I want to deploy my Mockups on a Webserver (Tomcat) using your "wargenerator" script. It provides the "-c" parameter to define the external Script-Folder. The command line looks like this: 
wargenerator.sh -w true -d ./TomcatInstance/webapps/SICONTACTMAN/ -c ./SoapMocks/externalScripts/ ./SoapMocks/contactManagement-soapui-project.xml
Now there are some error:

1)
 16:36:19,316 ERROR [JarPackager] java.io.FileNotFoundException: ./SoapMocks/externalScripts/Tools (Is a directory)
Isn't it possible to use subdirectories anymore?

2) When I put my .groovy files directly into the Script-Folder, they are copied to the webapps dir
 16:36:19,316 INFO  [JarPackager] Coping files from /app/norman/norman12/Mocks/sim01/./SoapMocks/externalScripts to /app/norman/norman12/Mocks/sim01/./TomcatInstance/webapps/SICONTACTMAN/WEB-INF/scripts
but it is not possible to access the classes in these scripts. When I try to access the class "FileHandler" (defined in "FileHandler.groovy"), I get 

16:48:37,186 ERROR [SoapUI] An error occured [No such property: FileHandler for class: Script1], see error log for details

    Hi,

    It looks like we a bug there, packaging look like have some problems. We are looking into this.
    Anyway if you copied your scripts in bin\scripts folder than it should work any way. If could
    send us project and dir with scripts so we can look (smartbear-sweden-support@smartbear.com)?

    Hi Robert,

    do you mean the bin\scripts folder of soapUI? Yes - as I wrote - that works fine... but doesn't help me with the Tomcat Deployment. The content of my project itself doesn't matter as everything works correctly when not deploying it but starting it from SoapUI. Please try to use a valid .groovy file (containing a class), put it into any folder, generate a WAR file with the "-c" option linking to that folder. Then try to instantiate that class (that is defined inside the .groovy file) from a script of the deployed mockup . Also try to use subdirectories inside that Scriptfolder.

    I'm not sure if I understood the "-c" option correctly. The wargenerator-script says: 
     -c    Specify path to script library to be included
    Is that the path to the external script folder (as it is "bin/scripts" by default when running it from soapUI)? Or does it have another meaning?

    If I understood the "-c" option correctly it must be a general problem with deploying Mockups as WARs and defining a folder with external scripts using the "wargenerator.sh".

    Please inform me what time I can expect that problem to be fixed, because it's quite important for us to get it to work.

    Thanks in advance,
    Greetings,
    Pat

    Hello,

    Please try upcoming nightly build. Use -c option and let me know does it helps.

    Hi,

    packing works with the new nightly build. The content of the specified scriptfolder is copied correctly into the "WEB-INF/scripts" folder. Thanks. But still I can't figure out how use the groovy code inside the scriptfolder. Starting the Mockup from SoapUI it works like that: when my scriptfolder is "[somepath]/scripts", and my groovy file lies at "[somepath]/scripts/tools/FileHandler.groovy" and contains the following code
    package tools

    class FileHandler 
    {
       public static void createDir( String dirname){
     //code to create a directory
       }
    }
    then I can instantiate a FileHandler Object by: 
    tools.FileHandler fh = new tools.FileHandler();
    or execute the static method by 
    tools.FileHandler.createDir( "newdir");

    Now I expect the same behavior when I deploy the Mockup with the wargenerator.sh and the paramter 
    -c [somepath]/scripts
    But using the code doesn't work in that way.

    Regards,
    Pat

    appendix: the error (when i try to instantiate or call a static method like shown above) is:
    java.lang.Exception: No such property: tools for class: Script1

    Did you recognize/understand that problem? Can I expect support?

    Thanks in advance,
