如何在 SoapUI 中配置 Hermes

Question

Installing SoapUI 5.7.0 in Windows 11 (in Ubuntu the same) I checked Hermes to be installed. But I don't see HermesJMS option in Tools menu. Pointing Preferences->Tools->Hermes JMS to SmartBear\SoapUI-5.7.0\hermesJMS does not solve the problem

Could you provided detail steps how to install Hermes with SoapUI?

Answer 1

I just tried installing SoapUI because I noticed that Hermes was an option on install. I know Hermes is an abandoned project but that product was so good for JMS testing that I was hoping that someone had picked it up. Sadly it seems that SmartBear are no longer supporting it as it says on this page https://www.soapui.org/docs/jms/getting-started/ "Important: SoapUI 5.6 or later does not support HermesJMS."

Curiously though it is still an installable option, but the lib versions seem to be all from 2010 whereas the 'latest' were from 2011 -> https://sourceforge.net/projects/hermesjms/files/hermesjms/1.14/ . Even the later/last version needs a couple of jars upgraded to make it work with JDK 1.8 (xml-apis.jar and xercesImpl.jar). Apart from the clear statement that its no longer supported, the version of hermes that ships with SoapUI may not work with later versions of AMQ such as 5.14.5 as you will hit this problem Accessing Apache ActiveMQ via JMX throws Exception .
