Getting context using groovyutils outside SoapUI - groovy

Question

I am trying to hold the response of my request in a holder variable but I am not able to.
In SoapUI groovyutils is in-built and can be used easily. But I am sending my soap request using groovy and it is working fine. Now I want to get the response in a holder and put some assertions.
My piece of code for this is :
import com.eviware.soapui.*
def groovyUtils = new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils()
def responseHolder = groovyUtils.getXmlHolder( messageExchange.responseContent )
Here I am not able to get as how I should pass the context in groovyutils and what all classes to call.

I'm not sure that I fully understand your problem, however seems that you want to check a SOAP response out of SOAPUI but using the facilities from SOAPUI jar isn't it?
If you want simply perform some assert in the response, then I would recommend you to avoid the use of GroovyUtils. Simply use XmlSlurper to parse the response, then get the desired values from the xml nodes and perform your asserts.
Since your Groovy code to you invoke the service and the response is missing I simply show you a possible example using XmlSlurper:
def response = '''<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope/">
<soap:Body>
<myResponse>
<someNode>myText</someNode>
</myResponse>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>'''
def xml = new XmlSlurper().parseText(response)
// find the <someNode> element
def someNode = xml.'**'.find { it.name() == 'someNode' }
// check that the <someNode> has a value equals of 'myText'
assert someNode.text() == 'myText'
Hope it helps,
