Passing parameters from Java to Groovy in SOAPUI

I have a java program as below,

   package test;
class HelloWorld {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.out.println("Hi");
    String a="World";
  }
}

And groovy script as below,

    import test.HelloWorld
HelloWorld.main(null)

And I am using this groovy script in SOAPUI after keeping the jar file in /bin/ext SOAPUI folder.

I am able to execute this groovy script in console.

But my requirement is,I need to pass variable say "a" in java program in SOAPUI test input.

For eg: Add test input in soapui 

<add>
<a> "Variable a" </a>
<b>5</b>
</add>

I want to refer that variable coming out of java program in this test input.Please let me know the way.

Java and Groovy integrates smooth. However to access the String a value a must be and attribute in object not a variable in a method. Let me explain; in your case for example in the Java part instead of a main method create an object like:

package test;
class HelloWorld {

  private String a;
  public HelloWorld(){
     this.a = "World";
  }

  public String getA(){
     return this.a;
  }
}

Compile and add the jars to SOAPUI_HOME/bin/ext.

Then from groovy script in SOAPUI you can instantiate the class and get the value:

import test.HelloWorld
def a = new HelloWorld().getA()
log.info a // this prints --> World

If besides you want to use this value in a request you've to set the property value at some test level (for example in testCase):

import test.HelloWorld
def a = new HelloWorld().getA()
log.info a // this prints --> World
testRunner.testCase.setPropertyValue('myVar',a)

Now that your variable is set you can use the follow notation to use it in your requests: ${#TestCase#myVar}, in your request sample:

<add>
<a>${#TestCase#myVar}</a>
<b>5</b>
</add>

Hope it helps,
