Hi,

how do you access the node?

I guess you use something like:
new XmlSlurper().parseText(xml).Body.NodeA.NodeB.NodeBChild1

This does not work, because the GPathResult returned by XmlSlurper has a 
method getBody():
http://groovy.codehaus.org/api/groovy/util/slurpersupport/GPathResult.html#getBody%28%29

Body is just a shortcut for this method. You have to quote Body e.g.:

new XmlSlurper().parseText(xml).'Body'.NodeA.NodeB.NodeBChild1

This works for me (with Groovy 2.1.7):

def xml = '''<SOAP-ENV:Envelope 
xmlns:SOAP-ENV='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/' 
xmlns:ns1='http://x.com/something'>
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<NodeA xmlns='http://x.com/something'>
<NodeB>
    <NodeBChild1>ValueX</NodeBChild1>
    <NodeBChild2>SomeValue</NodeBChild2>
</NodeB>
</NodeA>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>'''

assert new XmlSlurper().parseText(xml).'Body'.NodeA.NodeB.NodeBChild1 == 
'ValueX'

I guess almost everybody who uses XmlSlurper with SOAP stumbles over 
this problem. At least I did and some of my colleges too.
