How do I add a SOAP template from XSD in soapUI when XML extension is in place?

I need to make a large number of SOAP test cases to automate the testing process of an application.

Currently, the architecture requires that a single "generic" SOAP method is invoked with an object of a 开发者_Python百科generic type. Each "real" operation is defined by an element in the generic object and requires an object of an extended type to be used as input.

When I create the request template with soapUI, I only get the generic object elements, but I would like to add the empty template for a specific XSD type that is defined in my current schema to be used.

If I use xsi:type then soapUI correctly says that my markup is not valid against the schema (missing required elements), but I can't manage to get a ready-to-fill XML template.

Can you help me?

Example

genericRequest is made of

<genericRequest>
    <methodName>specificMethodName</methodName>
    <authenticationID>ABCDEF</authenticationID>
</genericRequest>

sumReuqest (extending genericRequest) for a "sum" operation is made of

<sumRequest>
    <methodName>specificMethodName</methodName>
    <authenticationID>ABCDEF</authenticationID>
    <addend>5</addend>
    <addend>3</addend>
</sumRequest>

I would ultimately like soapUI to fill a SOAP template with empty addend item (of course I work with lots of elements, and they are structured too!!)

In this case you need to create two resources in soaupUI one for generic request and other for operation request, I know right now its pain to create each resource for each operation, but soapUI is developed like that or if you think any of the parameters listed : http://www.soapui.org/REST-Testing/understanding-rest-parameters.html could help, you could define parameters as one of the above.

you could try using QUERY or MATRIX style parameters in your resource.
