What type of server?

 

How are you trying to get the headers?

    Server type: Apache tomcat

    def requestBody = mockRequest.getRequestContent()

    def abc_1= mockRequest.request.getHeader('abc').toString()
    Using the above way, i am fetching the header and storing it in a variable.

      Worked for me.

      Apache Tomcat/7.0.69
      JVM Version: 1.8.0_152-b16 (Oracle Corporation)
      SoapUI 5.4.0

      I created a MockService that returns the "success" response when the header is present (using your code in the dispatch script):

      if (mockRequest.request.getHeader("abc") == '123') 
    return "success" else return "fail"

      I ran the MockService in SoapUI and ran the request with abc header set to 123, and the response was the "success" result.

       

      I ran "Deploy Project as WAR" and generated headers.war. I opened the Tomcat Manager webapp and deployed headers.war.

       

      I changed my SoapUI request endpoint from localhost:8080/abc (UI mockservice) to localhost:9090/headers/abc (Tomcat deployment),sent the same request, and again got the "success" reply.
