What is a valid URL for my first project?
It seems that the URLs suggested for a first project vary over time.
I have installed the open source version of SoapUI (5.4.0) on a Windows 7 system. When I tried to create my first project, following the steps in "SoapUI 101: A Beginner's Guide to Functional Testing", page 9, I tried using both "http://www.webservicex.net/CurrencyConvertor.asmx?WSDL" and "http://wsf.cdyne.com/WeatherWS/Weather.asmx?WSDL". Both caused an error message to pop up. For example,
Error loading WSDL
There was something wrong with the WSDL you are trying to import
Error loading ["http://wsf.cdyne.com/WeatherWS/Weather.asmx?WSDL"]: org.apache.xmlbeans.XmlException: org.apache.xmlbeans.XmlException: error: Unexpected character encountered: '1'
If I paste the CurrencyConverter URL into Internet Explorer, it displays what appears to be a valid XML document.
Any suggestions?

Hi Jim,
The currency convertor WSDL loaded fine for me in SoapUI (also 5.4.0 on Windows 7 for me). The other one didn't.
If you installed the Tutorials when you installed SoapUI, then you can find in your Windows user home directory, under SoapUI Tutorials.
You can also find some more projects that work with public APIs from here: https://www.soapui.org/tutorials/web-service-example-projects.html. If I recall, one of the 4 was no longer publicly available.
