I’ve created a test project for my web service and trying to submit a soap request to it, but keep getting error
Error getting response; org.apache.http.conn.HttpHostConnectException: Connection to http://127.0.0.1:8888 refused.
the uri of service is http://localhost:57643/****.asmx. Why does it try to connect to 8888 port and how can I fix it.

From what I have encountered,

Error getting response; org.apache.http.conn.HttpHostConnectException: Connection to http://127.0.0.1:8888 refused.

Is due to the proxy settings of SoapUI itself. My issue was resolved after changing the proxy setting of SoapUI to none.

Soap UI > Preferences ans Settings > Proxy settings > none

This link has more details on SoapUI settings :

Just thought this might help someone out there.
