Error loading. java.lang.Exception: Failed to load url;

[NKomosinski]

I am trying to create a new project in SoapUI, and I keep getting the same error no matter what URL I try to load in there. In order to make sure it wasn't my local hosted web service causing the issue, I tried the URL from this page: http://www.soapui.org/SOAP-Recording/re ... affic.html which uses http://www.webservicex.net/CurrencyConvertor.asmx?WSDL as the example.

When I create my project as follows:


I get the following error:

Error loading WSDL wrote:
Error loading [http://www.webservicex.net/CurrencyConvertor.asmx?WSDL]: java.lang.Exception: Failed to load url; http://www.webservicex.net/CurrencyConvertor.asmx?WSDL, 0

I am using soapUI Pro 4.5.2 Build Date: 20130522-1354. I am running it on a 32-bit Windows 7 machine.

I can access the URL from my browser, as well as from my application, but I cannot load it as a soapui project. I have been able to have projects working before in soapui, but this is an issue that came randomly yesterday and has not gone away.

I have searched for this error on the forums and found a few posts, but none with resolutions - only more people looking for help. I hope to address this issue, but do not know how to proceed forward. Please let me know if you need any additional information.

Hello,

Are you on a secured network? If so please configure the proxy settings on SoapUI. The Proxy settings is located here: File>Preferences>Proxy Settings. Click on File again, save preferences and you might even want to restart SoapUI. Hope this helps!!

Hi 

I am also facing same issue.

Hi ,

Check the below steps.

In my case the server were the service was installed was configured only for TLS. SSL was not allowed. So you have to update SoapUI vmoptions file by adding

-Dsoapui.https.protocols=TLSv1.2

You can find this file in below path

C:\Program Files\SmartBear\SoapUI-5.3.0\bin\soapUI-5.3.0.vmoptions

OR change your server setting to allow SSL

I've tried both of the suggestions above - adding proxy settings and vmoptions change. I'm still getting the same error. We don't think that there is anything wrong in the WSDL file as it comes up fine in the browser and has been used by other users. Any other suggestions would be much appreciated.

Use WSDL(Case sensitive) after "?" in the url .

Hi @shashikmehra,

If @akill's suggestion didn't help you, I recommend that you submit a new topic (this one is very old) and describe the exact situation you've faced.

Hello,

I had the same error, after I upgraded to SoapUI 5.5. I found a couple of similar topics here, on the forum, but in my case the issue was with the server and I had to change the server setting to allow SSL > found the solution on Stackoverflow:
