Soapui is not loading external jar file --location added to classpath

Hi I don't want to add my jar files to bin/ext. Instead I tried to add the path to the soapui.bat as follows -- set CLASSPATH=%SOAPUI_HOME%soapui-2.5.jar;%SOME_SYS_VAR%\lib\*; But when I run my ...

Were you able to find the resolution of your problem? I am facing the same problem but com.eviware.soapui.support.ClasspathHacker.addURL( new URL("jar file") ) is not working for me. I am still getting the same error.

Hi,

 

In terms of setting an alternative location for the /ext folder (where jar files like drivers should normally be placed), I have previously just changed where SoapUI expects to find this folder by changing the following parameter:

-Dsoapui.ext.libraries=$SOAPUI_HOME/bin/ext

You can see that SoapUI also uses this parameter in its start scripts e.g. /java/app/bin/soapui.sh

 

if [ $SOAPUI_HOME != "" ]
then
    JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Dsoapui.ext.libraries=$SOAPUI_HOME/bin/ext"
    JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Dsoapui.ext.listeners=$SOAPUI_HOME/bin/listeners"
    JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Dsoapui.ext.actions=$SOAPUI_HOME/bin/actions"
    JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Djava.library.path=$SOAPUI_HOME/bin"
	JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Dwsi.dir=$SOAPUI_HOME/wsi-test-tools"
# uncomment to disable browser component
#   JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Dsoapui.browser.disabled=true"
fi

Something similar works if running SoapUI via Maven e.g. 

 

mvn integration-test "-Dsoapui.ext.libraries=src/test/resources"

This isn't an answer to your ClasspathHacker issue, but does this help?

 

Cheers,
