In web services,under requestValuesData the sign "!" is the delimiter between several fields. But how can I handle this sign "!" if it should be part of the value?
You have a service offering holding a service option with a form attached. You create a request for this offering with SOAPUI/Web Services. You need to add an Exclamation mar in the value of a form field.

Resolution
In web services: <formValuesData xsi:type="xsd:string">offering_id:10180|rate_plan_id:10157|item_id:12498|txta:ExclMark One︕Two﹗Three!Four!</formValuesData>

And in addition, two examples of 'other' special characters to be inserted: £ = Pound sign One︕Two﹗Three!Four! Four different settings for the exclamation mark!
Use the 'decimal value' of the character involved. And set that as in the above examples in the web services 'value' string.
