Setting up soapUI to connect to the database
We will use our sample HOTEL_RESERVATION_DB
MySQL database in the examples of this chapter. To make soapUI aware of our MySQL database, we need to include the MySQL JDBC driver inside soapUI binary distribution. We have already configured soapUI to connect to the MySQL database in Chapter 6, Web Service Simulation with soapUI. There, we have performed the following two steps to configure soapUI with MySQL:
Downloading MySQL JDBC driver from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/.
Copying the driver JAR file to
soapUI_HOME/bin/ext
and restart soapUI.
