soapUI: Error does not close tag

Question

I'm trying to use soapUI 4.5.2 for the first time. I've created simple .NET ASPX web service and copied the following address into the soapUI:

http://localhost:52086/WebService1.asmx

But, the following error came up:

Error loading [http://localhost:52086/WebService1.asmx]: org.apache.xmlbeans.XmlException: org.apache.xmlbeans.XmlException: error: does not close tag

I've disabled proxy option in soapUI preferences.

How to make it work?

Answer 1

Watch for ?wsdl.

You should use it like this:

http://localhost:52086/WebService1.asmx?wsdl

Answer 2

I had the same problem with SoapUI 5.0.0 on Linux Mint.
In my case the wsdl url was correct and it could be reached via any browser.(you might need to add '?wsdl' to the end of url).

http://localhost:52086/WebService1.asmx?wsdl

In my case, I had configured my firefox to use a proxy server and Soupui was trying to load proxy setting from my Mozilla Firefox which caused SoapUI to be unable to resolve import XSD of WSDL which resides on my local Network. After setting proxy to None in Soapui the problem has been resolved too.

File->Preferences->Proxy Settings->None

Answer 3

You have to Instruct that weather it is server uri or not so there is way to way to wrote this like this

example

http://192.XXX.X.XXX/Service/Servicename.asmx?wsdl

try this.

Answer 4

FIX STEPS: 1. On SOAP UI Tool. Click File>Options, then click Proxy Settings 2. Change automatic to manual and write localhost in Exclude 3. Retry importing WSDL.
