SoapUI getting request parameters in mock service script

Question

This is probably a very easy one for all SoapUI regulars.

In a SoapUI mock service response script, how do I extract the value inside the request I\'m replying to?<

In a pure Java (not using SoapUI) you would just create a custom Naming Context like this one:

import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.List;

import javax.xml.XMLConstants;
import javax.xml.namespace.NamespaceContext;

class WSNamespaceContext implements NamespaceContext
{
    public String getNamespaceURI(String prefix)
    {
        if ( prefix.equals("ns3") )
            return "http://www.mysite.com/services/taxservice";
       else if (prefix.equals("soapenv"))
            return "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";
        else
            return XMLConstants.NULL_NS_URI;
    }

    public String getPrefix(String namespace)
    {
        if ( namespace.equals("http://www.mysite.com/services/taxservice") )
            return "ns3";
        else if (namespace.equals("http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"))
            return "soapenv";
        else
            return null;
    }

    public Iterator> getPrefixes(String namespace)
    {
        return null;
    }
}

Then, parse it like so:

XPathFactory factory = XPathFactory.newInstance(); 
XPath xp = factory.newXPath(); 
xp.setNamespaceContext( nsc ); 
XPathExpression xpexpr = xp.compile("//ns3:CustomerNumber/text()");
NodeList nodes = (NodeList)xpexpr.evaluate(doc, XPathConstants.NODESET); 
for ( int i = 0; i < nodes.getLength(); i++ )  { 
    String val = nodes.item(i).getNodeValue();
    System.out.println( "Value: " + val  ); 
}
