java.lang.Exception: Failed to load url

I have just installed SoapUI 5.2.0 on Windows. Regardless of what wsdl file I put in I get the following kind of error: Error loading [http://www.restfulwebservices.net/wcf/StockQuoteService.svc?ws...

Hi,

 

It sounds as though your SoapUI cannot see the internet. I am guessing this because the starter page is effectively a browser that loads some web based content and when a WSDL wont load due to problems resolving network/web based dependencies, this often means that SoapUI cannot see the internet.

 

Common causes for this are:

  • Needing to configure proxy settings (in SoapUI preferences > Proxy Settings).
  • Needing to allow SoapUI access in firewall settings. 

Whilst the internet isn;t strictly required to use SoapUI for testing local web services etc, it would affect the two things you listed.

 

Cheers,

Rupert
