Why are my Request Messages in Latin? Using SOAPUI

I have been scratching my head on this one for days and it was a simple setting.  I did change the value many times but didn't realize that I needed to reload the WSDL definition for the changes to take effect.  :-)

The sample values (in Latin) are created because of the soapUI Preferences.
If you dislike having these sample values or having to adjust them by hand, you can turn them off by ticking off WSDL Settings->Sample Values checkbox. When you add the WSDL again, the new sample requests will have no sample values and just a question mark. "? "


Settings:  Make sure this is unchecked.




When you uncheck the setting, you will have just the ? mark.

JDBI - Making Clean APIs without enbedded SQL

I found this article and information interesting.  http://jdbi.org/  and http://jdbi.org/getting_jdbi/

Not having to embed SQL directly into Java.  By using this, one could create a packaged stored procedure, which would then make a cleaner API.
