Soap UI load testing - web-services

Question

I want to call the webservice multiple times passing different parameter,
e.g. getDetail(Id) , by reading the ids from an excel sheet or a constant.
I understand you can do this by writing groovy script in SoapUI, does anyone have a working example to start with.
PS: I am using the free SoapUI version and not SoapUI Pro.

Answer 1

One way to achieve this would be to have Test Case with 3 steps.
The first one: a groovy script step that does something like this:
['111', '222', '333'].each {
com.eviware.soapui.SoapUI.globalProperties.setPropertyValue('id', it)
testRunner.runTestStepByName("testRequest")
}
testRunner.gotoStepByName('done')
Secondly the Test Request step. Inside the request you can refer to the id parameter by ${id}
and thirdly an empty Groovy script step 'done' for jumping out of there.
Instead of the static list you can get the test ids from a file.

Answer 2

We achieve this by using a groovy script step at the start of our test:
switch (context.ThreadIndex) {
case 0: context.Id = 'id for thread 1 here'; break;
case 1: context.Id = 'id for thread 2 here'; break;
...
default:
log.error 'Thread['+context.ThreadIndex+'] Run['+context.RunCount+']: no Id available for assignment'
}
