Hey
dataki,
You can actually provide the full URI parms and payload in regards to security concerns. What you shouldnt do is provide the full URL (hostname plus URI). As long as you don't provide the hostname along with username and password thats fine from a security concern as no one would be able to hit your resource without those details. If youre concerned about revealing payload details you can supply dummy data (even though its kinda moot without hostname and username/password details)
Anyway. Right. We're gonna need a bit more info to help diagnose.
Is this SOAP or REST? if SOAP youre likely to have a wsdl file that defines the webservice. (SOAP messages are containers that include the relevant payload within the SOAP emvelope).
Youve been given the full URI. You need to confirm the following to nail this down.
What HTTP method...GET? PUT? PATCH? POST? DELETE?
What are the parameters on the request. URI/Template/Resource? Matrix? Query? Headers?
Does your request include a payload?
If "yes" is it validated in your webservice?
If "yes" youll need to create a schema valid payload.
If your request has a payload, what is the associated mediatype....text/xml? application/xml? application/json?
You mentioned a username and password. Are you definitely using Basic Auth rather than one of various other authentication/authorisation mechanism?
Does your endpoint support http or https? Youll likely get an SSL.Exception generated if this is incorrect.
Do you need to proxy your requests?
You need to confirm at your end all the above detail as incorrectly setting any of the above could result in bad response/no response from endpoint. There's other things as well, but the above gives you the basic considerations to submit a request successfully.
You didnt mention what you saw in the logging. This can help a lot diagnose whats going wrong. So keep on eye on the soapui log, the http log and the error log. Did you get an http response status code returned from your endpoint?
Also the RAW tabs on the request pane and response pane can be very helpful as this reveals exactly what was submitted and received....this includes the full URL(including URI, Matrix/Query parameters, all the Header parms) and the payload (if there is one)
If you come back answering the above points we should be able to sort you out.
