Transfering values to the EndPoint

Hi guys,

I'm very new in soapUI PRO, and I would like to ask you to help me with this procedure:
I have some JDBC request which gives me values "IdBankAccount" (10000084,10000096,10000032....):
I am connecting to this ENDPOINT
http://obs01:9900/ib-server-jat-ref

but for this special request I must specified "Full Path" to get response. So the entire Endpoint is like this:
http://obs01:9900/ib-server-jat-ref/bankaccount/10000084




And here comes the tricky part...
I need to transfer values "IDBankAccount" to the end of "FullPath" so the TestCase should be running like this: 
1. run:
http://obs01:9900/ib-server-jat-ref/bankaccount/10000084
2.run:
http://obs01:9900/ib-server-jat-ref/bankaccount/10000096
3.run:
http://obs01:9900/ib-server-jat-ref/bankaccount/10000032
etc..

Is there any way how to do that?

Thanks for any help!

    Hi,

    Thank you for the detailed problem description. If you are familiar with properties and property expansion (http://www.soapui.org/Scripting-Propert ... nsion.html), solving this becomes quite easy

    Seeing as how you want to loop through the bank accounts, you probably want to use a JDBC DataSource (there's a good short video tutorial at http://www.soapui.org/Data-Driven-Testi ... tests.html) to be able to use one bank account at a time.

    In SoapUI, you can access properties virtually anywhere, even in the endpoint string. If you for instance have a project-level property foo that contains the bank account ID 100000 and then set the endpoint to http://obs01:9900/ib-server-jat-ref/bankaccount/${#Project#foo}, the request will be sent to http://obs01:9900/ib-server-jat-ref/bankaccount/100000.

    The test case structure you want would look something like this:


    - DataSource  //set up to get the data from your JDBC connection
    - TestStep //use property expansion in the endpoint string like described above, probably something like ${#DataSource#idBankAccount}
    - DataSource Loop  //targeting the test step (= go to the next step in the loop)


    Does this make sense? Let me know if it's unclear or if you have any further questions. I hope this helps!
