How to build soap request with script view? - soap

Question

I'm trying to build a SOAP request with Groovy/Java.
However, I didn't found any information on web and on Katalon documentation.
There is a lot of documentation for REST testing, but not for SOAP ...
https://docs.katalon.com/katalon-studio/docs/create_rest_api_requests_manually.html#introduction
https://docs.katalon.com/katalon-studio/docs/web-services-builder.html
https://api-docs.katalon.com/
My objective is to do something like :
// THIS CODE IS WRONG !!!! It's just to give you an idea of my need
RequestObject requestObject = new SOAPRequestBuilder()
def variables = new HashMap<String, String>()
variables.put('variable', 'some text')
requestObject.setVariables(variables)
def response = WS.sendRequest(requestObject)
Someone has any idea how to do that? Thank you for help.
Update 1
I found this solution but I don't know if it is a best pratice ...
def request = findTestObject('RequestObject', [('variable') : 'some text'])
def response = WS.sendRequest(request)

If you're looking for something product-agnostic, you could use groovy-wslite, which handles both REST and SOAP. For example:
def client = new SOAPClient("http://...")
def response = client.send(SOAPAction: ...) {
body {
...
}
}
