how to make scriptom work with soapUI

Question

I want to use scriptom to access COM objects in soapUI but i am not able to get beyond step 1, i.e., installing scriptom.

I have tried the steps mentioned in http://

Answer 1

I was able to make this work by following these steps

1. Install groovy or download the latest groovy binary

2. find out the java.library.path in soapUI using

   log.info System.properties["java.library.path"]

3. copy the scriptom jar files in the soapui_HOME/bin/ext folder

4. copy the jacob*.jar file in soapui_home/bin/ext folder
5. copy the jacob*.dll (both) into the java.library.path location from step 2. This is usually the soapUI_home/bin folder
6. restart soapUI and verify that you can see messages in the soapUI log that the jars were loaded.

7. run a simple scriptom code to verify that the setup worked. I used the below code.

   import org.codehaus.groovy.scriptom.*

   // instantiate Internet Explorer def explorer = new ActiveXObject("InternetExplorer.Application")

   // set its properties explorer.Visible = true explorer.AddressBar = true

   // navigate to a site by calling the Navigate() method explorer.Navigate("http://abhishekasthana.com")

And that's it...
