I would like to know if it is possible to control the properties of a soap request through a script…? What I mean is, I do not want to hard code the properties of a soap request and I would like to read the values from a file and pass it to the properties or write a function to randomize the values for the properties. For example, if I have a soap request with two properties, User Name and Password, I would like to pass different values to these properties, each time I call this web service request in a test case. An example of how to do that would be much appreciated. ---

Hi [Vinh Nguyen](http://forum.katalon.com/author/vinhnguyenkms-technology-com/), If it is possible, could you please provide a tutorial on how to test web services using Katalon, perhaps for a simple webservice with steps as to how to pass values dynamically and also how to parse the response data…? A tutorial on this would be highly helpful to clear the the doubts/questions. ---

If you want to use username and password in the web service object, you should pass it to HTTP Header (getHttpHeaderProperties().add()) of that web service object ---

Ah sorry, you need to have the following import: `import com.kms.katalon.core.testobject.TestObjectProperty.` The error message already indicates root cause: `unable to resolve class TestObjectProperty` ---

Hi Vinh, I tried the way you have explained, but I got the following error while running test case, Test Cases/API\_Test FAILED because (of) org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed: file:/C:/Users/qaddaffi.sulaiman/Katalon%20Studio/AutomationTrial/Scripts/API\_Test/Script1494360124193.groovy: 29: unable to resolve class TestObjectProperty @ line 29, column 33. request.getRestParameters().add(new TestObjectProperty(“username”, ConditionType.EQUALS, username)) ^ file:/C:/Users/qaddaffi.sulaiman/Katalon%20Studio/AutomationTrial/Scripts/API\_Test/Script1494360124193.groovy: 30: unable to resolve class TestObjectProperty @ line 30, column 33. request.getRestParameters().add(new TestObjectProperty(“password”, ConditionType.EQUALS, password)) ^ 2 errors \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* The screenshot of the code is at [http://prntscr.com/f6417b](http://prntscr.com/f6417b) ---

Hi there, Here is my example for REST object: `import static com.kms.katalon.core.testcase.TestCaseFactory.findTestCase` `import static com.kms.katalon.core.testdata.TestDataFactory.findTestData` `import static com.kms.katalon.core.testobject.ObjectRepository.findTestObject` `import internal.GlobalVariable as GlobalVariable` `import com.kms.katalon.core.testobject.ConditionType as ConditionType` `import com.kms.katalon.core.testobject.RequestObject as RequestObject` `import com.kms.katalon.core.testobject.TestObjectProperty as TestObjectProperty` `import com.kms.katalon.core.webservice.keyword.WSBuiltInKeywords as WebAPI` `import com.kms.katalon.core.webui.keyword.WebUiBuiltInKeywords as WebUI` `import com.kms.katalon.core.mobile.keyword.MobileBuiltInKeywords as Mobile` `import com.kms.katalon.core.webservice.keyword.WSBuiltInKeywords as WS` `import static com.kms.katalon.core.checkpoint.CheckpointFactory.findCheckpoint` `import com.kms.katalon.core.model.FailureHandling as FailureHandling` `import com.kms.katalon.core.testcase.TestCase as TestCase` `import com.kms.katalon.core.testdata.TestData as TestData` `import com.kms.katalon.core.testobject.TestObject as TestObject` `import com.kms.katalon.core.checkpoint.Checkpoint as Checkpoint` `def postId = 1` `'Add REST parameter using local variable from Variables tab'` `RequestObject request = findTestObject('REST_CommentDetails')` `request.getRestParameters().add(new TestObjectProperty('postId', ConditionType.EQUALS, postId))` `'Send a REST request and returns its response'` `def response = WS.sendRequest(request)` `'Verify if comment\'s email after sending request is correct or not'` `WS.verifyElementPropertyValue(response, '[0].email', 'Eliseo@gardner.biz')` SOAP request should be the same as they have the same supported APIs: [http://prnt.sc/f615sw](http://prnt.sc/f615sw) . You can see a full list of APIs for Web Service object in this [page](http://api-docs.katalon.com/studio/v4.5.0/api/com.kms.katalon.core/com/kms/katalon/core/testobject/RequestObject.html) Please let me know if you have any other questions ---
