SoapUI “failed to load url” error when loading WSD

Question

I keep having some weird problems. The main one is that I keep getting the following error when trying to add a WSDL to a new project:

Error loading [https://.../token?wsdl]: java.lang.Exception: Failed to load url; https://.../token?wsdl, 0 -

Here's the message recorded in the error.log file:

java.lang.Exception: Failed to load url; https://.../token?wsdl, 0 -

at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)

I verified that the application at that URL is up and running, and I can get to the WSDL from a web browser, but I keep getting this error message no matter what. I am using SoapUI 4.5.0 (32-bit) on a Windows 7 box. I've also tried the 64-bit version with the same results. It happens whether I am on VPN or not.

Do you know why I might be getting this error?

Answer 1

I got this error when trying to load a WebService implemented in MS Dynamics AX. Because I was connecting via VPN to my network, something went wrong with IPv6 settings. After googling, I found the solution here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929852

Hope this will help.

Answer 2

In my case the

 Error loading [https://.../token?wsdl]: java.lang.Exception: Failed to load url; https://.../token?wsdl, 0 

was caused by fake certificate. If you get the following in browser

"There is a problem with this website’s security certificate." 

this is the case.

The resolution was to import a certificate to

 C:\Program Files (x86)\SmartBear\SoapUI-5.0.0\jre\lib\security\cacerts 

Which is default java used by SOAPUI

Answer 3

In my case the server were the service was installed was configured only for TLS. SSL was not allowed. So you have to update SoapUI vmoptions file by adding

-Dsoapui.https.protocols=TLSv1.2

You can find vmoptions file under SoapUI installation folder:

C:\Program Files (x86)\SmartBear\SoapUI-5.0.0\bin\soapUI-5.0.0.vmoptions

OR change your server setting to allow SSL

Answer 4

Inside the wsdl file look for the import element, which looks like this :

`<import  namespace="nameSpaceValue" location="Users/myname/.../targetxsdName.xsd"/>`

Change the location attribute in the above element to the location of your xsd files stored locally, and it should work.

Answer 5

This could be a problem with IPV6 address SOAP UI picking. Adding the following JVM option fixed it for me:

-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true

I added it here:

C:\Program Files\SmartBear\soapUI-4.5.2\bin\soapUI-4.5.2.vmoptions

Answer 6

My solution was to modify the java.security file:

\SoapUI-5.3.0\jre\lib\security\java.security

Comment code syntax:

#jdk.certpath.disabledAlgorithms=MD2, DSA, RSA keySize < 2048 #jdk.certpath.disabledAlgorithms=MD2, RSA keySize < 1024
