Integration Issue between SoapUI 5.5.0 and Rack Server on Gaming Laptop
Hey everyone, I'm currently facing an integration issue between SoapUI 5.5.0 and a rack server on my gaming laptop. I've been trying to set up the integration for testing purposes, but I seem to be encountering some difficulties. I was wondering if anyone here has experienced a similar problem or has any suggestions on how to resolve it. Here's some background information on my setup: I have SoapUI 5.5.0 installed on my gaming laptop, which is running Window 10. The rack server is running [inventory software] and is connected to my laptop via The purpose of the integration is to test the communication between SoapUI and the rack server, ensuring that the server responds correctly to SOAP requests. The issue I'm encountering is that when I try to send SOAP requests from SoapUI to the rack server, I don't receive any response. It seems like the communication between the two is not happening as expected. I've checked the server logs, but there are no errors or indications of any issues on that side. Here are some steps I've already taken to troubleshoot the problem: Verified that the rack server[ https://www.lenovo.com/gb/en/c/servers-storage/servers/racks/ ] is running and accessible from my gaming laptop by pinging its IP address. Checked the network configuration on both the laptop and the rack server to ensure they are on the same subnet. Disabled any firewall or antivirus software on my laptop to eliminate potential blocking of the SOAP requests. Upgraded to the latest version of SoapUI (5.5.0) to ensure I'm using the most up-to-date software. Despite these efforts, I'm still unable to establish successful communication between SoapUI and the rack server. I'm starting to run out of ideas on what could be causing the issue. Has anyone faced a similar integration issue between SoapUI and a rack server before? Any suggestions or insights on how to debug this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help! Best regards, Sara
SOAPUI 5.9.1 Still Includes Log4j 2.17.1 — When Will an Updated Version Be Released?
Hello Team, We are currently working through remediation of Log4j vulnerabilities in our environment. As part of this effort, we downloaded and installed the latest available SOAPUI Open Source version (5.9.1). However, after installation, we observed that the Log4j library bundled with SOAPUI is still version 2.17.1. Our internal security scanners continue to report vulnerabilities for Log4j and require us to upgrade to Log4j 2.25.3 or later, but SOAPUI does not appear to include that updated version. We would appreciate clarification on the following: Is Log4j 2.17.1 considered vulnerable within the context of SOAPUI Open Source, or is it considered safe/supported by SmartBear in this product? If it is not vulnerable in this context, can this be safely ignored or suppressed from a security standpoint? If it is considered vulnerable, is there an upcoming SOAPUI Open Source release planned that includes Log4j 2.25.3 or newer? If no such release is planned, could you provide recommended remediation steps (for example, instructions for upgrading or replacing the Log4j libraries manually, if supported)? Currently, we are unable to meet security compliance requirements because SOAPUI 5.9.1 continues to ship with Log4j 2.17.1. Any guidance on timelines or supported workarounds would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Shared workspace
Hi, I have a couple-three dozen Projects, stored on a Google Drive, that i want to share with a couple co-workers, such that we are all working off the same song sheet. I have shared the google drive folder where they all reside, with them, but is there a way to allow them to import all the Projects into their SoapUI in one swell foop? Has seen something about shared Workspace, but can't find anything about how to accomplish that. Can anyone suggest?
SoapUI 5.9.0 Installer.app does not open on macOS Ventura 13.7.5
Hello, I’m trying to install SoapUI 5.9.0 Open Source on my MacBook Pro (Intel) running macOS Ventura 13.7.5. Java 11 (Temurin) is installed and works correctly (java -version shows version 11.0.28). However, when I try to launch the SoapUI 5.9.0 Installer.app from the DMG package, macOS shows the message: “The application ‘SoapUI 5.9.0 Installer.app’ can’t be opened” The icon is displayed with a “prohibited” sign. It seems like the installer is not recognized as compatible, even though release notes mention Ventura compatibility starting from version 5.7.1. Is there an updated installer for macOS Ventura (Intel)? Should I use the .tar.gz / .zip distribution instead of the DMG? Has this issue been officially confirmed for Ventura users? Thanks in advance for any guidance.
How to escape ampersand in Property Expansion?
Hi, In our TestCases, we use properties as values for SOAP requests in the following way: <com:name>${#TestCase#currentName}</com:name> This mostly works fine, but in some cases the property values contain an ampersand (&) character. This then leads to an incorrect XML and thus invalid SOAP Request: <com:name>Fencing & Security</com:name> The expected behaviour would be that SoapUI escapes the invalid character to create the following element: <com:name>Fencing & Security</com:name> When assigning the value to the element using a separate Property Transfer test step, this is correctly done (the value is escaped). The problem is that we set all the properties using a Groovy Script before running the request, which makes using property expansion in the request by far the easiest way to assign all values. Is there a way to use property-expansion that does escape special characters when used in XML?No Fluff, Just Real Stuff - DevRel Newsletter July edition here!
