Hi,

I created a new Web servie request for SOAP then entered a WSDL URL under the Object repository. However, the error: URL is invalid appeared.  
This WSDL link is on our secured company server.  
I tried it in SOAP UI and works fine. See below: ![](https://s3.amazonaws.com/katalon-forum/editor/oz/xz4xbefb5rgc.png "Image: https://s3.amazonaws.com/katalon-forum/editor/oz/xz4xbefb5rgc.png")

Hi @Trong Bui Under the log viewer, there is nothing as soon as I hit “Test Request and Verify” , I already get that error.  
Furthermore, the .log file contains the following:  
_ **!ENTRY org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench 4 0 2018-09-05 09:32:53.922** _  
_ **!MESSAGE URL is invalid** _

under …\config\.metadata\.log file, you will see the logs. However, as per above, it doesn’t include much details on the error.

I downloaded the latest version (5.7.0) and there is a new error:

```auto
!ENTRY org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench 4 0 2018-09-07 09:36:04.049
!MESSAGE Service Function is empty

```

Tried the wsdl in both SOAPUI and Browser and seems to be working fine there.

This has been resolved by Katalon 5.8. I am now able to see the service functions.  
However, when I run it, I get this Response 500 Internal Server error:

> \<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?\>

The popup dialog appears as well:

This is a different issue, can you try to look at this thread first and see if you can do something from your WSDL?

Hi @Vinh Nguyen the problem is that I have no control over the WSDL file. I work in a large enterprise and changing of WSDL (we have around 100+) would require a lot of re-work from our developers.
