SoapUI MockServices returning html rather than xml response
Using the following sample WSDL file, I've generated a new project in SOAP UI (version 3.5), and created the example test suite, test case, and mock service.
WSDL
<definitions name="HelloService"
targetNamespace="http://www.examples.com/wsdl/HelloService.wsdl"
xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/"
xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/"
xmlns:tns="http://www.examples.com/wsdl/HelloService.wsdl"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<message name="SayHelloRequest">
<part name="firstName" type="xsd:string"/>
</message>
<message name="SayHelloResponse">
<part name="greeting" type="xsd:string"/>
</message>
<portType name="Hello_PortType">
<operation name="sayHello">
<input message="tns:SayHelloRequest"/>
<output message="tns:SayHelloResponse"/>
</operation>
</portType>
<binding name="Hello_Binding" type="tns:Hello_PortType">
<soap:binding style="rpc"
transport="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http"/>
<operation name="sayHello">
<soap:operation soapAction="sayHello"/>
<input>
<soap:body
encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"
namespace="urn:examples:helloservice"
use="encoded"/>
</input>
<output>
<soap:body
encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"
namespace="urn:examples:helloservice"
use="encoded"/>
</output>
</operation>
</binding>
<service name="Hello_Service">
<documentation>WSDL File for HelloService</documentation>
<port binding="tns:Hello_Binding" name="Hello_Port">
<soap:address
location="http://www.examples.com/SayHello/"/>
</port>
</service>
</definitions>
I can start up the mock service and access via the browser, whereby I see a link to the wsdl and can view it.
However, by using the default generated soap request (as follows), it returns an html response (appears to be the web page) rather than the soap response I have configured.
REQUEST
POST http://localhost:8088/SayHello/ HTTP/1.1
Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate
Content-Type: text/xml;charset=UTF-8
SOAPAction: "sayHello"
User-Agent: Jakarta Commons-HttpClient/3.1
Host: localhost:8088
Content-Length: 467
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:urn="urn:examples:helloservice">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<urn:sayHello soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
<firstName xsi:type="xsd:string">James</firstName>
</urn:sayHello>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
RESPONSE
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Server: Jetty(6.1.x)
<html><body><p>There are currently 1 running soapUI MockServices</p><ul><li><a href="/mockHello_Binding?WSDL">Hello_Binding MockService</a></li></ul></p></body></html>
I've configured a sample response as follows :
SAMPLE RESPONSE ON MOCK
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:urn="urn:examples:helloservice">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<urn:sayHelloResponse soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
<greeting xsi:type="xsd:string">?</greeting>
</urn:sayHelloResponse>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
Its configured as the default response, so I have no idea why it is not being returned.
Any suggestions? +1's to anything that helps me progress this.
Thanks

No service is started for the endpoint URL from your request: http://localhost:8088/SayHello/. The only started service is located at URL http://localhost:8088/mockHello_Binding as reported in the service response. SoapUI returns list of all started mock services in HTML page when a non-existed one is requested. Consider fixing endpoint address to resolve this issue.
