Accessing file resources in SoapUI Mock Service Deployed in tomcat

Question

Problem in short : Accessing local file in SCRIPT Dispatcher with respect to project path i.e., def file = new File(groo

Answer 1

The main issue being : groovyUtils.projectPath is working only for first use case, and getting nothing for second use case.

After lot of trial & errors and search on the net, found a hint in one of the samples and the following approach working to be able to access the local file resource both below use cases as mentioned in the question.

• running as mock service from soapUI itself
• deployed as war in remote tomcat

So changed the code (script of mock dispatcher)
from:

   def file = new File(groovyUtils.projectPath+"/${responseFileName}.xml")

to:

   def projectPath = new File(mockOperation.mockService.project.path).parent
   def file = new File(projectPath.+"/${responseFileName}.xml")

Note: file(resource) must be available in the same location where soapui project file is present on the disk i.e., after creatin .war file, update .war file and make sure the required file is placed under WEB-INF/soapui as that where soapui's project xml is available.
