"Validate" request and response not working in HTTP Monitor
Hi,
On one of my projects, I'm using SoapUI Pro 5.1.2 to monitor the SOAP calls between a client and a server application by having configured the client's proxy settings to point to the SoapUI Pro HTTP Monitor running in Proxy mode.
I have added all the relevant WSDLs into the SoapUI project on which the HTTP Monitor is running and I can see in the monitor's calls' list that the Interfaces and Operations are being identified correctly. However, when I inspect the content of the Requests and Responses in the "Message Context" lower tab and I invoke the "Validate" command (through the contextual menu or "Alt+V"), I always seem to get a positive response (i.e. Validation OK) even when the message is not valid according to the Interface definition. In order to get the "true" validation result, I need to either copy the request (or response) into a request against the relevant Interface Operation and then invoke the "Validate" command. Alternatively, I can add the request to a test case through the toolbar, but either way those methods get very time comsuming compared to quickly pressing "Alt+V" against the request or response directly in the HTTP Monitor.
Is it only supposed to check for "well-formed XML" or is it supposed to validate against the interface definition? I would have assumed the latter considering it is able to tie-up each call to its relevant interfaces/operation.
Thanks
Francois
