SoapUI PlugIns - instead of Groovy

Hi SoapUI powerusers...
Is there a way I can use Java PlugIns (or at least java beanshell) instead of Groovy ?

I'd like - when a MockService is invoked - to pass the request to a Java Plugin (or java beanshell script) - and have this custom code formulate the response; read filesystem or perhaps even make a JDBC/database connection.

I've read the documentation and tried creating my own plugins - but these ONLY seem to extend the SoapUI UserInterface only !
That's great... but I'd like to use Java to extend - not only the SoapUI UI - but also customize how requests/responses are handled by MockServices...

ANY links, pointers to documentation on this subject would be greatly appreciated.

Hope someone here can help...

Thanks
Frank

    If the answer is RTFM... than please forward reference.
    I've looked and cannot find.
    I can't believe that "Groovy" is the only way I can extend SoapUI processing of requests and formulation of responses.
    Surely, there is a JavaPlugin mechanism that goes beyond just hooking into UIEvents ?
    I want to use JavaPlugins to customize SoapUI processing of requests and sending messages.

    Any thoughts - would be greatly appreciated....

    Thanks
