Modifying Soap UI request using groovy

we have a requirement of finding the number of dealers in current country.In the below xml request key-value pair will be varied for every request. Inputs to the soap request will be given in .txt file.Based on the number of inputs in .txt file i need to generate key-value pair xml tags dynamically. 

  **Format of Input.txt**

   1.key1=Fruit,value1=Carrot,Key2=Vegetable,value2=Carrot
   2.key1=Vegetable,value1=Potato
   3.key1=Fruit,value1=Apple,key2=Fruit,value2=Orange,key3=Fruit,value3=Mango

SoapUI Request 

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:web="http://www.webserviceX.NET">
           <soapenv:Header/>
           <soapenv:Body>
              <web:GetCitiesByCountry>
                 <web:CountryName>Ind</web:CountryName>
                 <web:queryParameters>
                    <web:key>Fruits</web:key>
                    <web:value>Mango</web:value>
                </web:queryParameters>
                <web:queryParameters>
                    <web:key>Vegetables</web:key>
                    <web:value>Carrot</web:value>
                </web:queryParameters>
              </web:GetCitiesByCountry>
           </soapenv:Body>
        </soapenv:Envelope>

There's some good technical solutions here, but if you buy a SoapUI license, you'll be able to access the data driven test functionality, which does exactly what you want right out of the box. No groovy scripts required.

You say you have the reading of the input records sorted, so I've just put some records in a map for demonstration purposes. Then, if your request payload starts off looking like:

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope">
    <soap:Header/>
    <soap:Body>
        <web:GetCitiesByCountry xmlns:web="webserviceX.NET">
            <web:CountryName>hello</web:CountryName>
        </web:GetCitiesByCountry>

    </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

You can loop through your input records and append them to the request:

import groovy.xml.XmlUtil

// Assuming the input document has been read into a HashMap
def map = ['Fruits': 'Banana',
           'Vegetable': 'Potato'        
          ]

// Get testStep by it's name
def testStep = context.testCase.getTestStepByName('soapRequest')

// Parse the request
def xml = new XmlSlurper().parseText(testStep.getPropertyValue('request'))

// Loop through the map and append the key/value pairs
xml.Body.appendNode {
   map.each {k, v ->
      Parameters {      
        Key(k)
        Value(v)
     }
   }
}

// Check the output
log.info(XmlUtil.serialize( xml ))

// Update the request
testStep.setPropertyValue('request',groovy.xml.XmlUtil.serialize( xml ))

Afterwards, your request will look like:

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope">
    <soap:Header/>
    <soap:Body>
        <web:GetCitiesByCountry xmlns:web="webserviceX.NET">
            <web:CountryName>hello</web:CountryName>
        </web:GetCitiesByCountry>
        <Parameters>
            <Key>Fruits</Key>
            <Value>Banana</Value>
        </Parameters>
        <Parameters>
            <Key>Vegetable</Key>
            <Value>Potato</Value>
        </Parameters>
    </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

As you said you need to add 

 <Parameters> <Key>key1</Key> <Value>Value1</Value> </Parameters>

dynamically while executing groovy script

So inside your groovy script in a variable

 xmlValue="<Parameters> <Key>key1</Key> <Value>Value1</Value> </Parameters>" 
 testRunner.testCase.setPropertyValue(xmlNodes,xmlValue)

So now your dynamic xml is in testCase property. So inside your xml where you want to place it

you can place this code

  <web:CountryName>${#TestCase#xmlValue}</web:CountryName>

This way it will get added. If you pass it null,then nothing will be added in your xml.
