SOAPUI to Test SOA Web Services

Question

Hi,
When we create a WSDL project and provides the WSDL url in relevant box in SOAPUI, it tries to fetch all the relevant artifacts locally to create the request and response. But in case of Oracle SOA, if the XSD's or Abstract wsdls are placed in Metadata Store (MDS --> oramds:/app/customer,xsd), understandably SOAPUI fails to fetch those artifacts hence unable to load the service client.
Is there any workaround for this.
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
Rather than using the developed WSDL file to create the SoapUI project, create the SoapUI project from the WSDL URL on the server (MDS) for the endpoint. You can get this in the /em console. If the composite has already been deployed then in /em navigate to the composite and click the 'Show WSDL and endpoint URI' icon. This will give you a WSDL URL with referential integrity that you can use to create the SoapUI project.
If you've only deployed the WSDL resource to MDS then you can still get to the WSDL via it's URL. You can use any other composite deployed to the server, go to it's WSDL (as per previous) and within this WSDL use the abstract WSDL URL & just change the section of the URI that comes after the composite version number to the path to the resource you have deployed and want to use to create the SoapUi project.
Hope this helps.
