SoapUI 5.0 requestContent is null for Rest Mock service

I have the exact same problem.

I'm trying to build a dynamic REST mockservice that needs to return a different response based on the JSON body of the POST request.
When I try to read the mockRequest.requestContent property it always returns null. The mockRequest object itself is not null, just the requestContent.

I am not running the script via the small green triangle ("Run this script"), I have tried posting a real request via SoapUI/curl/Chrome and I can see the JSON data posted in SoapUI's http log, but in the script the requestContent is still null.

Is this a bug or something I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!

I faced the same issue
also made a few observations

Consider sending 2 requests one right after another to the same mocked endpoint.
The following code successfully reads http response first time request is sent.
It is showing request body and says that ..getReader().ready()==true
For the second request ..getReader().ready()==false and request body is not shown.

However if I send the second request with 40 seconds delay - both first and second requests appear in log.

log.info mockRequest.getRequest().getReader().ready()
  try {
       while ((line = mockRequest.getRequest().getReader().readLine()) != null)
                  log.info("line:"+line)
       ;
  } catch (Exception e) { 
   log.error("exception:"+e)
  }

In case someone have ideas of how investigate or workaround please post below.

I took nightly build 20140612-1506.
It works fine for me.
btw no access to reader anymore.

Thanks lenenberg for the hint on using the updated build. That seemed to work for POST requests.
I then moved on to trying to do the same for a PUT request and found that it is still broken, and now even the "reader" approach is not available so I'm really up a creek. Very very frustrating.

Hi,
I have the same problem using Ready API 1.1.0 - ServiceV for a get request.
Any solution?
Thanks,

Hi QADev,

I also using Ready API 1.1.0 - ServiceV.
The methode "mockRequest.requestContent" works fine in this version.

I use it for the XmlHolder:

def holder = new XmlHolder(mockRequest.requestContent)

Which method do you use?
