    Hi,

    Have you checked the SoapUI Preferences?  There is a driver set-up tab....

    Hello Connectbobby1 

     

    For some reason (maybe because there was an issue many years ago in SoapUI), I always put my jar files in "soapui_home/lib" with all the other jar files instead of the documented "soapui_home/bin/ext" folder.  You might try moving the driver there and see what happens after you do that and restart SoapUI.  Just grasping at straws here without a full research event. 🙂

     

    Regards,

      Hi,

       

      I think your problem is maybe because you are not running soapui using the script shell (for Windows soapui.bat): it's initializing different settings as the extension directory.
