How to send sessionID from soapui as a request - web-services

Question

I am testing a webservice method which accepts session-id as a parameter.
While testing the same method via SoapUI with a dummy sessionID-Parameter, the server is rejecting the request as it is expecting proper session-id.
How can I solve this? Is there any way where SoapUI can bind the session-id before sending the request?
Please advice me. Thanks
Below is the sample-request which is triggered from SOAP-UI:
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ser="http://services.local.com">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<ser:getMultiple>
<!--Optional:-->
<ser:sessionId>1000AJHEFG0987</ser:sessionId>
<!--Optional:-->
<ser:lessonId>95101</ser:lessonId>
<!--Optional:-->
<ser:quantity>1</ser:quantity>
<!--Optional:-->
<ser:impressionRow>1</ser:impressionRow>
</ser:getParametersMultiple>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

Answer 1

Let's say, if you get sessionid in first request's response, and the next request should go here http://{{original endpoint}}/{{SESSION_ID}}), this definitely works:
go to request (not the test request inside test case) where session id should be put into
add a parameter on 'request' tab
name=sessionid, style=template, level=resource. now it is empty in all related test requests
go to test request, 'request' tab
put the path to sessionid value from previous request into 'value' field of sessionid parameter. for example, it is like ${users#Response#$.session_id} where 'users' is the name of endpoint resource, 'session_id' is the name of parameter inside response

Found the solution,
Design your login method which will accept certain inputs and will
return the sessionID as a string
Hit that login method from SOAP-UI and you will get the sessionID in
your response
Use "Property Transfer" option in soap-ui and transfer the received
sessionID to all other requests
