    Hi,

     

    It seems that someone has fixed the wiki page (http://www.soapui.org/getting-started/your-first-soapui-project.html) since you went on it at the top and added two replacement examples presumably for the missing one you tried:

     

    Note: The WSDL referenced in step 2 of this tutorial has been removed. Please use one of the following WSDL URLs instead:http://wsf.cdyne.com/WeatherWS/Weather.asmx?WSDLhttp://wsf.cdyne.com/WeatherWS/Weather.asmx?WSDL
    http://www.webservicex.com/currencyconvertor.asmx?WSDL

     

    Hope this helps,

    Rupert

    Just as an note on this particular error message, it case it saves anyone else any time (and because I was investigating another post reporting the same error message).

     

    It seems that SoapUI can display this error message:

     

    Error loading [http://www.mobilefish.com/services/web_service/countries.php?wsdl]: org.apache.xmlbeans.XmlException: org.apache.xmlbeans.XmlException: error: Reference to undefined entity: nbsp

     

    presumably because it is trying to interpret (as a WSDL) the resulting HTML page that is displayed when the missing WSDL (in this case http://www.mobilefish.com/services/web_service/countries.php?wsdl]:) redirects. I think it may also happen when the WSDL is available but happens to contain imports/includes a scheama that cannot be found.

     

    Hope this helps,

    Cheers,

    Rupert

    The following URLs does not work for me: Error loading WSDL. Failed to load url:

     

    Note: The WSDL referenced in step 2 of this tutorial has been removed. Please use one of the following WSDL URLs instead:http://wsf.cdyne.com/WeatherWS/Weather.asmx?WSDLhttp://wsf.cdyne.com/WeatherWS/Weather.asmx?WSDL
    http://www.webservicex.com/currencyconvertor.asmx?WSDL

     

    Any new URLs for begginers? Workaround?

     

    Thanks,

      My workaround is to open this URL in IE and save as file locally. Then just browse for the WSDL location. It loaded fine.
