Error importing jar in groovy script (soapui)

Question

I have a problem with running java code from groovy script (groovy script is a part of SoapUI test suite) i create simple script:

import myjar.jar
new TopClass().sayHello()

the code of TopClass:

public class TopClass {
    public void sayHello (){
        System.out.println("Hello");
    }   
}

I put myjar.jar into both soapui-pro-2.5\lib and soapui-pro-2.5\bin\ext folders. But running script I get:

org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed, Script1.groovy: 2: unable to resolve class myjar.jar @ line 2, column 1.org.codehaus.groovy.syntax.SyntaxException: unable to resolve class myjar.jar @ line 2, column 1. at org.codehaus.groovy.ast.ClassCodeVisitorSupport.addError(ClassCodeVisitorSupport.java:113) at org.codehaus.groovy.control.ResolveVisitor.visitClass(ResolveVisitor.java:970) at org.codehaus.groovy.control.ResolveVisitor.startResolving(ResolveVisitor.java:141) at org.codehaus.groovy.control.CompilationUnit$5.call(CompilationUnit.java:527) at org.codehaus.groovy.control.CompilationUnit.applyToSourceUnits(CompilationUnit.java:772) at org.codehaus.groovy.control.CompilationUnit.compile(CompilationUnit.java:438) at groovy.lang.GroovyClassLoader.parseClass(GroovyClassLoader.java:281) at groovy.lang.GroovyShell.parseClass(GroovyShell.java:572) at groovy.lang.GroovyShell.parse(GroovyShell.java:584) at groovy.lang.GroovyShell.parse(GroovyShell.java:564) at groovy.lang.GroovyShell.parse(GroovyShell.java:603) at

Please help me to find what I'm doing wrong

Have you added the jar to the build path? In Eclipse "addToBuildPath" — k-deux

Putting the jar under soapui-pro-2.5\bin\ext is all you need for the classes to be found (although restarting SoapUI won't hurt).

However - you should check that the error you get is related to your jar. Is com.my.research available within myjar.jar? If no - just add it.

If yes, add more detailed information to your post.
