> Is there a simple way to copy a node from the XmlSlurper into a groovy bean?

Does the groovy bean have to have a specific type? Like, do you have
an existing domain object that you're trying to get XML into?

If not, and you can handle dynamic types, then you could write a
generic algorithm that walks an XML tree and constructs a closure-map
of the contents of your XML. Our you could write a class that wraps
the XmlSlurper and uses invokeMethod to translate methods calls on
your object into method calls on the wrapped XmlSlurper instance.
That's be kinda neat to define a more OO friendly API over XmlSlurper
than the GPath/grep/findall stuff provides. I can never remember the
correct syntax for that stuff.
