Hey rahulkm
I don't see how this is possible - perhaps the other forum members might know, but from my understanding this is not straightforward at all.
For example - even if all your payloads are embedded within the test step so you might think you can just use a bit of groovy to strip out all of the SOAP envelope leaving the XML payload itself - the fact is that an executable teststep (e.g. SOAP or REST or HTTP, etc.) is actually a child of a specific HTTP operation beit REST or SOAP, so you'd have to change all the Services, Resources, Methods, & Requests.
Also - SOAP is considered to just use POST method (it's not really explicit - it might be in SoapUI - I can't check, I use ReadyAPI!) but SOAP essentially uses POST for all requests - GET, PUT, POST, DELETE, whereas REST typically uses the appropriate method for the request.
It sounds like a nice idea - converting SOAP to REST - and even if it was even possible, I believe there are just too many variables to automate the process - I think it would take so much time to automate the process, you might just as well do it manually.
Just my opinion - I could be wrong, but I don't believe I am,
