missing several packages from eviware - groovy allows only SoapUI, model, and support.

Made a mistake by posting this in open source SoapUI. (moderators, there should be a way for moving posts between discussion groups).   Anyway here is my problem:    I am using Ready! API 2.0 and...
REST
Scripting
SOAP

    I put a ticket in. The answer I got is that some of the objects have late binding and won't appear in code completion. 
     
    One way to load APIs, I am told is use the getContextClassLoader(): Here is an example SmartBear suggested that worked for me so com.eviweare.soapui.impl - though not appearing in code completion, was proven to work as though it is activated by late binding:
     
    import com.eviware.soapui.impl.support.HttpUtils
     
    log.info "version? " + context.getProperty( "version" )
    HttpUtils.extractHost("http://service.com")

    Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().addURL(new URL('file:///home/billmartin/SmartBear2/ReadyAPI-2.0.2/lib/commons-math-1.2.jar'))
    def number = Class.forName("org.apache.commons.math.complex.Complex").newInstance(1, 2)
    log.info("The real part is $number.real")
     
    I also figured out a way to update the header inside my groovy script based on seeing on some thread this code:
     
     
    import com.eviware.soapui.support.types.StringToStringMap
    def headers = new StringToStringMap()

    headers.put( "Content-Type", "application/json") // Replace values with those you need
    log.info "Added Content-Type: application/json"
    request.requestHeaders = headers

    log.info "headers size now: " + (request.requestHeaders.size())
    log.info request.requestHeaders
     
    I haven't come across any information about late binding in the documentation. This information might help other people to use the Ready! API SoapUI API 
     
    thanks

Thankyou! I found a folder with hundreds of jar files and ran the program,  jar -tvf on some suspects and see com.eviware.soapui.impl in the listing, so I went ahead and put in a ticket. Since I already made three test suites I want to be able to have all my work safe and saved in case they tell me to uninstall everything and then reinstall Ready! API 2.0 and my Soap NG Pro license.

Hopefully they can help you get it sorted out!

    Though I use the purchased  and licensed SoapUI NG Pro, I found on the open source soapUI a set of comments a few years ago that someone could not get to some objects and methods in requestFilter:

     

    https://community.smartbear.com/t5/SoapUI-Open-Source/how-to-set-project-propertyValue-in-RequestFilter-Event/m-p/25860/highlight/true#M11265

     

    Looking the readyapi docs on handling-events, it only says that code complete allows you to see available objects and methods

     

    https://support.smartbear.com/readyapi/docs/testing/handling-events.html

     

    Yet I have seen a comment a year ago that someone claims to have used request.getRequestHeaders() - which is not in my list of available methods - in this same ReadyAPI SoapUI. So I am thoroughly confused still.
