I too am experiencing this same problem. I am a licensed user and have used this product for some time but recently started experiencing this problem which I did not experience before. Luckily, I still had the previous unzipped versions of soapUI installed on my workstation. I discovered that version 3.0 works fine. However, version 3.0.1 is inflicted with the SSL handshake problem after the first few successful request/response. And, other versions greater than 3.0.1 also have the same SSL problem. Dear eviware, please look into this most nagging issue. I believe this message thread contains most sufficient and helpful information to duplicate and repeat this issue. Thanks
