Re: cap-solutions.co.uk - how does SoapUI get the response?

Hi,

 

Thank you for the file.

Hm-m-m... It does not mention any Transaction or Report entities indeed...

What I would do is to use some recording proxy (Fiddler, for example) to check the traffic generated for this given test that fails.

If only one request for the called service method (AddVisitsToInspection) is generated, then I would say that you need to talk with developers and ask them why wsdl file lacks some info and how this can be resolved. Another option (if developers are not accessible or no changes are possible) is to parse the response manually as a regular xml content.

If more than one request is generated by SoapUI, then (this is my wild guess) I can imagine that it requests additional definitions that are referenced in the wsdl file but are not included in it. I haven't met such case yet and don't know, as we speak, how to handle it. So some investigation might be needed.

 

Sorry for not been of much help...

    Thanks, we have reached similar conclusions to yourself.  Since the software developers have not yet fixed a bug in one of their web services I found a year ago, reporting it to them is unlikely to resolve the situation this year or (I suspect) next!

     

    However this web service is in effect a wrapper to one in a different connector, so we should be able to use that directly.

     

    Would still love to know what's going on in SoapUI though, so will have a Fiddle.  :)

      LOL! (Y)  This has to be quoted indeed :)

      I would appreciate it if you update this thread with your findings as it made me curious.

      You may also consider to put a direct question to Support via the https://support.smartbear.com/message/?prod=ReadyAPI form.
