Sorry for the delay in replying, work tends to always get in the way! I'm still experiencing the same issue when executing the same soapUI test case in the soapUI Runner component with the 20100904 build.
I'm still specifying the JRE associated with JDK 1.6.0_21. JAVAFX_HOME (JavaFX SDK 1.3) is also found on my path right after JAVA_HOME. I've removed JAVAFX_HOME from my path variable and executed the load test again with the same exception.
See the execution results below:
