How to declare Namespaces globally ?

Hi ,

Can you provide any guidance for the above issue . What actually I was following in our script is :

//define your namespaces
def ns1='http://RecentCommunicationType/v1'
def  ns2='http://UserSummary/UpdateRecentCommunicationResponse/v1'
def ns3 = 'http://Support/Fault/v1'

response.namespaces["ns1"] = ns1
response.namespaces["ns2"] = ns2
response.namespaces["ns3"] = ns3

I have used theabove lines in one of the TestCase steps for declaring the namespaces. But my question is whether can we declare the same in common for the whole project . Because if we include these lines in every testcase and if there is any change made in the namespace we need to incorporte those changes in every testcase under the project.

It would be great if you can provide me any solution for this issue .

Thanks

Hi ,

This is very urgent requirement we are planning to promote our customer to use SOAP UI PRO based on this solution. WE have to add some strong points to acheive that so it would be great if any help is provided for this issue.

Hello,

This should easily be doable using property expansions.
In your project, add the namespaces as Test Properties (for instance named ns1, ns2 and ns3).
Replace the script part you posted with the following:

response.namespaces["ns1"] = context.expand('${#Project#ns1}')
response.namespaces["ns2"] = context.expand('${#Project#ns2}')
response.namespaces["ns3"] = context.expand('${#Project#ns3}')

This way, you just have to change the namespaces in one place, the Project properties.
Hope this is what you were looking for!

Hi Dain,

Thanks for the idea. But do you mean Global Property ?. In that case I have 10 operations under one WSDL so do I need to declare all the related namespaces for that WSDL in Global Property?

Hi Dain,

Thanks I have saved all the name spaces in one txt file. So that i can maintain separately for each project. Thanks for the solution

Hi Dain,

Is that possible to do the above scenarios using groovy script, just like a setup script (i.e instead of saving the NameSpaces in a separate txt file ).

1. A Test suite should have a test case with a groovy script which should contain all the Namespaces declared in it

2. When the test case is executed it should dynamically declare those namespaces globally .

Is this possible with in SOAP UI


Thanks

Hi Dain,

Can you please give me some idea

Thanks

Using Dain's solution, you just need to set the namespaces as properties on the project level (look at: http://www.soapui.org/userguide/properties.html), which gives you a single place to change the namespaces.
