How to add parameter in SOAPUI-4.5.0 jar java in soap request

I have an WSDL soap service, Am using SOAPUI-4.5.0 jar in java to generate all the operations, am creating a new request by using WsdlOperation.createRequest(true); but am unable to pass the parameter to the created request.

Java code:

WsdlInterface[] wsdls = WsdlImporter.importWsdl(project,
                "http://xx.xxx.xxx:3263/xxxx?Wsdl");
WsdlInterface iwsdl= wsdls[0];
WsdlOperation wsdlOperation=iwsdl.getOperationByName("CreateDevice");
WsdlRequest request = wsdlOperation.addNewRequest("My request");
String requestContent = wsdlOperation.createRequest(true);

requestContent value:
---------------------

<xml-fragment xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:soap="http://soap.xxxx.com">
  <soapenv:Header/>
  <soapenv:Body>
    <soap:Create>
      <!--Optional:-->
      <soap:name>?</soap:name>
      <!--Optional:-->
      <soap:size>?</soap:size>
    </soap:CreateDevice>
  </soapenv:Body>
</xml-fragment>

request.setRequestContent(requestXmlObject.toString());
request.setEndpoint("http://xx.xxx.xxx:3263/xxxx");
WsdlSubmitContext wsdlSubmitContext = new WsdlSubmitContext(request);
WsdlSubmit<?> subm = request.submit(wsdlSubmitContext, false);
Response response = subm.getResponse();

name = String type
size = int type

response value:
---------------
<faultstring xml:lang="en-US">The formatter threw an exception while trying to deserialize the message: There was an error while trying to deserialize parameter http://soap.xxxx.com:size. The InnerException message was 'There was an error deserializing the object of type System.Int32. The value '?' cannot be parsed as the type 'Int32'.'.  Please see InnerException for more details.</faultstring>

Am getting the above error, while passing the request.
I need to pass parameter for name and size.
Please share the code

      So, in particular you can create the request XML as you did and use Groovy Slurper to amend it:

      ...

      //Create the request and capture the XML content

      String requestXMLString = operation.createRequest( true ).toString()

       

      System.out.println("Request String Content: "+requestXMLString);

       

      //Use XMLSlurper to pass and update the invoiceNo=7 in my getInvoice operation

      def envelopeNode = new XmlSlurper().parseText(requestXMLString)

      envelopeNode.Body.getInvoice.invoiceNo=7

       

      //This is just to serialize the XML objects back to a request XML String

      XmlUtil xmlUtil = new XmlUtil()

      requestXMLString = xmlUtil.serialize(envelopeNode)

      println( "modified request: g"+requestXMLString)

       

      //Update the SoapUI request content with the new updated XML request content

      request.setRequestContent(requestXMLString)

      ...

      Then when you submit the request it should be fine.

       

      Hope this helps,

      Cheers,

      Rupert

        Hi Rupert,

         

        Thanks,

        As per your suggestions, I have created a new groovy class and write the below method in groovy class

         

        class ParseXML {

           def parseFile(xmlString) {

               def envelopeNode = new XmlSlurper().parseText(requestXMLString)

               envelopeNode.Body.CreateDevice.name="testSoapUI"

               return envelopeNode

           }

        }

         

        But am unable to set the parameter in the request

         

        In java code:

        -------------

        String requestContent = wsdlOperation.createRequest(true).toString();
        System.out.println(requestContent);
        ParseXML xml = new ParseXML(); //  groovy file name
        Object obj = xml.parseFile(requestContent);

         

        But the envelopeNode returns -  ??

         

        My request is (requestContent):

        <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:soap="http://soap.xxx.com">
           <soapenv:Header/>
           <soapenv:Body>
              <soap:CreateDevice>
                 <!--Optional:-->
                 <soap:name>?</soap:name>
                 <!--Optional:-->
                 <soap:size>?</soap:size>
              </soap:CreateDevice>
           </soapenv:Body>
        </soapenv:Envelope>

         

        Kindly guide me..
