Writing to Request Panel

I have a situation where I am generating the xml in my soap request dynamically because the data being received is dynamic through a data source. I created a java library so I could make use of reusable code across my projects. My xml is being generated as a string. While I could just write the result into a test case property and then use the property in the request panel, I want to display the entire generated xml in the request panel instead. Doing this will give the end use the ability to see the request easily if/when they so desire. After searching I am still unable to figure out how to clear the auto generated xml from the wsdl and replace it with my own xml. Thanks in advance!

    Thank you for the link. Unfortunately that is not helpful. That is how I am currently doing it. What I really want is the request panel to show the xml, not the property; this allows the user to see the xml as normal except it is generated from the library rather than by SoapUI.

    Instead of:

    <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" >
    <soap:Header/>
    <soap:Body>
    ${#TestCase#certifyXML}
    </soap:Body>
    </soap:Envelope>

    I want the entire xml that I am generating to appear in this panel.

    I think I am close with using new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils(context) and setting the request context: context.requestContent. However, I can't figure out how to communicate directly with the specific test case and update the request.

    Got it. I can access the request property through this: testRunner.getTestCase().getTestStepByName("TestStepName").getProperty('Request').setValue(xmlValue)
