    Hi,

     

    I have seen similar issues those you are describing, perhaps since version 5.0. The signature and timestamp functionity seems to work ok, but the encrytion causes that null response - I think its to do with the WSS4j related libraries that SoapUI bundles, and is in fact a confusing, but hopefully quite easily fixed bug. This post relates to the same problem and provides details of a solution by way of copying in the newer / required library version:

    Hope this helps,

    Cheers,

    Rupert

Yes, thank you very much.  I suspected it had something to do with a different version of WSS4J, but I would not have been able to quickly pin it down to that jar.

 

I replaced xmlsec-1.4.5.jar with xmlsec-1.5.8.jar in the SoapUi installation lib folder, and that solved the problem as you described.

 

I appreciate the help very much.

 

Regards

    Hi Andy,

     

    You're welcome, am happy to save someone else some time - I remember finding this issue confusing and annoying wondering what the 'null' response actually meant!! :-)

     

    Ideally this issue should be patched in the actual product.

     

    Thanks,

    Rupert
