Running mocks from the command line

SoapUI mocks can easily be run from the command line using the bundled <SoapUI Home>/java/app/bin/mockservicerunner.sh script. This recipe covers running both a REST and SOAP mock in this way.

Getting ready

The only real prerequisites are a SoapUI install and a project with a mock that you'd like to run. In this recipe, we'll try out the mocks in the RESTMock-soapui-project.xml and SOAPMock-soapui-project.xml projects from the chapter 3 samples.
