    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
