Operations

When adding an interface as described above, each of that interfaces operations is added as a node in the navigation tree. We take the name for these from operation in the underlying PortType, that is if they are called GetCustomer in the WSDL, that's what we call them.

The following actions are available from the operation nodes' right-button menu:
  • Add to MockService - prompts to create a soapUI MockOperation for this operation in an existing or new MockService.
  • Add as MockResponse Step (soapUI Pro only) - prompts to create a MockResponse Step this operation in an existing or new TestCase.
  • New Request - creates a new Request for this operation from its wsdl /schema definition. soapUI will prompt for a name and ask if optional schema elements should be created.
  • Relabel - changes the label of the operation in the navigator, which can be helpful if there are several overloaded versions of the same operation in the Interface.
  • Online Help - Displays this page in an external browser
