Question

I need to automate a SoapUI-project that uses HermesJMS with Maven2. The Problem I get is that SoapUI does fail on integrating the HermesJMS into its Classpath.

2012-09-20 15:48:21,340 ERROR [SoapUI] An error occured [java.lang.NullPointerException], see error log for details
2012-09-20 15:48:21,465 ERROR [errorlog] java.lang.NullPointerException

at com.eviware.soapui.impl.wsdl.submit.transports.jms.HermesJmsRequestTransport.init(HermesJmsRequestTransport.java:102)

Seems like the integration is not quite as smooth as I thought it would be.

Here the Plugin configuration:

I guess SoapUI does not find Hermes correctly – but how do I fix that?

Answer 1

I finally solved this problem. Turns out, the dependencies for hermes in pom.xml do not make hermes available to soapUi. We ended up with including the hermes folder inside our /src/test/resources folder and pointed towards this folder inside the project XML.
