Manne,

When I renamed

DataSource -> FileContent property to
DataSource -> Filename

Filename property now had data source file name (say myXYZ.xml ) . So the problem with that is, I am losing the content of myXYZ.xml . To fix that , I created two properties, with same DataSource configuration (Directory / Filename Filter)

DataSource -> FileContent to read the content of myXYZ.xml
DataSource -> Filename to get the name of myXYZ.xml

SoapUI does not name these names, there seems to be some conflicts. So my soap request started failing.

To fix this, I renamed the one of the properties

DataSource -> xmlContent to read the content of myXYZ.xml
DataSource -> Filename to get the name of myXYZ.xml

and this works now.

Just letting you know. Seems like the features of "Directory" datasource are not fully tested and baked in.

Thanks
