Getting an error connecting web service using SOAPUI

Question

I'm getting the following error every time I run my script using SOAPUI. It says connection refused. Please Help. It seems to me that there's some firewall issue but when I talk to my network people but they don't think it's the firewall.

java.lang.NullPointerException

Solution

Try disabling the proxy in SOAP-UI, which indicated in the attached screen shot. Or Give a valid proxy connection under Proxy settings in SOAP UI Global preference.

By disabling the proxy preference SOAP UI may work in offline.

Hope it might solve your issue.
