Using Soap UI to test services

I needed to test a screen that was backed by services and it was suggested that I use soapUI.
I haven't used soapUI for a while now and was surprised to see mock service functionality.

Mock Service (http://www.soapui.org/Service-Mocking/concept.html)


So first take the wsdl you have and generate a mock service using soap ui.
Create a new project: File Menu > Create new soapUI project.
Select the wsdl you will be working with.



Right click on the new Binding and select Generate MockService
Press ok twice.



Right click on the new Mock and select Start minimized.

Ok I like using the Query Match functionality it just works for my brain:
You can create as many mock responses as you like and edit the xml response as you wish.

You the add Query matches for each of your responses based on data passed in.
The xpath bit is the matching rules
The expected value is the value to match on in the incoming message
Last dropdown is the response you choose to return based on the above input





Important Soapy Example match

declare namespace v1='http://test.co.za/stuff/Messages/Test/V1';
declare namespace soapenv='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/';
//soapenv:Envelope/soapenv:Body/v1:GetTests/v1:TestId


Make sure the mock service is running.

Hook up to code
Now point your code (web service proxy pojo data control for me) to use the mock service url.

Example:


new TestService(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:8088/mockTestService", new QName("http://www.test.co.za/Test/V1","TestService")));


Run screen and test away.

I am using 4.5.0

MANIFEST.MF merge JDeveloper for an executable jar

Goto your project > properties. Then click on deployment in the menu. Edit or add a jar deployment profile. Fill in the details under jar options (select Include manifest and give it a main class name) Also remember that the merge functionality only works with a BLANK line at the end of the merge file. REALLY this caught me. My merge file contents: Class-Path: commons-codec-1.3.jar [...empty line here CRLF...]

JBO-25013: TooManyObjectsException

oracle.jbo.TooManyObjectsException: JBO-25013: Too many objects match the primary key oracle.jbo.Key[Key null ]. Ok so for you it may be trying to insert a duplicate record this should explain your problem (also check trigger they could be the cause.) NOTE: You can also try to create a new duplicate EO if you have a page with two VO's using the same EO. This could sort your problems. For me I needed to add a launch listener on my LOV and clear the cache of my vo. LOV <af:inputListOfValues id="NameId" popupTitle="#{bindings.Name.hints.label}" value="#{bindings.RolName1.inputValue}" label="#{bindings.RolName1.hints.label}" model="#{bindings.RolName1.listOfValuesModel}" required="#{bindings.RolName1.hints.mandatory}" columns="#{bindings.RolName1.hints.displayWidth}" shortDesc="#{bindings.RolName1.hints.tooltip}" launchPopupListener="#{backingBeanScope.backingBean.launchPop...

ADF Encountered deferred syntax #{ in template text.

OracleJSP error: oracle.jsp.parse.JspParseException:  Error: Encountered deferred syntax #{ in template text.  If intended as a literal, escape it or set directive  deferredSyntaxAllowedAsLiteral This normally happens when you have some tag lib dependancy problems but this was  not the case for me... My problem: For some reason my model project had web stuff in it(public html etc)  so I had to remove the public html stuff from my project and manually edit the Model.jpr project file and remove the tag lib entries at the bottom o the file. Go figure.
