Pass a String array into a get request
- 7 years ago
aaah - I see
I didn't see the second Accno query parm
The trouble with this is that SoapUI doesn't recognise it as different query parameter - and so doesn't allow you to add in duplicates.
Someone else asked something similar a couple of weeks ago I believe - but there's no way around it as far as I can tell.
The trouble is a GET query is like a SELECT query against a database.
Currently your GET if you considered it as SQL would appear as follows:
SELECT * FROM TABLE
where accNo = '66000XW'
and accNo = '660016A'
and livePrice = 'true'
and buyingPower = 'true';
and the above would be invalid - if accNo is unique - then you would never get a single record because you are trying to find a record where accNo is both '66000XW' and '660016A'
I'm guessing from your request - you are trying to retrieve more than 1 record - i.e. 2 different account records where livePrice=true and buyingPower=true?
so the SQL equivalent would be as follows:
SELECT * FROM TABLE
where accNo in ('66000XW', '660016A')
and livePrice = 'true'
and buyingPower = 'true';
This requires either altering the URI (to allow parameterization in SoapUI) or hardcoding your request.
If you just want to inject this via SoapUI - you bodge it - so select to create a new resource from the URL and paste in the URL up to but not including the query parms
then once the resource has been created, you can then paste in the remainder of the URL (/portfolio-rs/v1/1/accounts/assetsDetail?acctNo=660016A&BacctNo=66000XW&livePrice=true&buyingPower=true) into the 'Resource' field.
Then within the test case, click to create a new REST request, and select this option from your listing - this would allow you to submit the request from SoapUI but doesn't provide any of the advantages of using SoapUI above other REST client tools - SoapUI lends itself to parameterization and automation. Essentially the approach I've just described hardcodes the values in - and so provides no advantages from using SoapUI compared with a different tool.
That kindof highlights why REST URI design is so important and needs to be reviewed early in the design/development stages so that problems like this don't occur.
I'm sorry I can't be of more help.
