    Hi,

     

    Thats interesting, I've never seen that issue before.

     

    When you build a mock war it does reference your soapui-settings.xml, but I haven't noticed the settings file being included in the war, only the project file. I guess it might be worth understanding how the property you're talking about gets transferred to the mock war.

     

    I take it your mock is fairly ordinary? I have never had any proxy requirement for a mock, and don't understand why a proxy is relevant at all given that the mock is hosted locally. Trouble is, the whole of SoapUI including all its dependencies gets packaged in the mock war, so it could be the proxy code is somehow being triggered.. strange.

     

    Regards,

    Rupert

      Hi, thank you for your reply.

       

      About "soapui-settings.xml": I have created many variants of war file, with checked "Include Global Settings" and without, but I can't get rid of this error. If I check "Include Global Settings" then the settings file is appears in "\WEB-INF\soapui" otherwise not. I mean eventually, in any case, in the local and in the global settings files there are everywhere "proxyEnabled" is set to false, but the error still occurs.

       

      Another interesting point is that when I'm opening mocked service web interface for the first time, then I can see an error I have written. And when I refresh the page, then error text is changing to:

      P.S. I have also tried to deploy another mock from the example on the smartbear site (about currency exchange), but got the same problem.

       

      P.S.P.S. it could be not a proxy problem, but anyway I need to fix it, and I would be appreciated for any help.

       

      Thank you!

        Hi,

         

        Which Tomcat and Java are you using?

        It seems there might be some kind of classpath issue. Where there any other errors when you first make a request to the mock? You should see SoapUI startup in the logs, does that exception come straight away?

         

        Thanks,

        Rup
