a little confused

I selected SOAPUI to try out as a REST testing framework and I can't get the simplest request to work.  ??  For every web service I create, I always implement a simple ping service.  Looks like this:  http://localhost:8080/app/resources/ping.  No parms or payload, just a simple GET.

I created REST project.  Defined endpoint as http://localhost:8080 and resource as /app/resources/ping and I get back a 400 Bad Request. error.  I can type in the url directly into a browser and I get the expected response.

 

Looking at my server log and I see no evidence it received the request from SOAPUI.  So where does the 400 come from?

    Hi,

     

    As you're probably aware, as 400 type response normally means that the client has done something wrong.


    Given that SoapUI certainly can do REST requests, are you setting the Content-Type header property to something your service expects? Any authorisation required that may be cached in the browser? Sometimes there can be a lack of proxy configuration in SoapUI, but as its localhost, I don't really expect that.

     

    Hope this helps,
