Developing dynamic database-driven SOAP mocks

Moving on from mocks that perhaps return optional content from a fixed set of static responses or use simple scripts to generate responses, there are database-driven mocks that are capable of storing and retrieving data from requests or preloaded test data.

One of the core concerns when deciding on how best to mock a service is minimizing the cost of its implementation, as the mock normally needs to be available quickly, and its implementation will often be considered a throwaway. This recipe shows a low-cost way to enable a SoapUI mock to use a light in-memory database to preload, store, and retrieve the request data.

Getting ready

This recipe requires the H2 database setup to be covered in the Importing CSV file data into an in-memory H2 database with Groovy recipe of Chapter 2, Data-driven Testing and Using External Datasources. Please follow the Getting ready section and review the recipe for further information on using the H2 database with...
