I have a requirement where I am collecting system and some product specific information, so is there a way I can append the already existing xml’s content to the product tag, in my xml builder?

My test code to create a xml using groovy

import groovy.xml.MarkupBuilder
import org.custommonkey.xmlunit.*

def writer = new StringWriter()  
def builder = new groovy.xml.MarkupBuilder(writer) 

def xml=new XmlSlurper().parse("E:\\DomainMeta.xml")

builder.csm() { 
    system(osname:"linux", hostname:"panther")
    product()
    {
        //Here i'd like to add my xml content, starting with <DomainMeta>
    }

} 
println writer.toString()

My xml, which has to be copied into another xml which i am building above

<DomainMeta>    //there can be more dynamic information inside DomainMeta tag
<Gateways>
<NodeRef name="N_116489" host="panther" httpPort="18,448" port="18,449" />
</Gateways>
<OptionGroup name="DomainOptions">
    <Option name="LicenseUsageDetailMinDays" value="90" ></Option>
</OptionGroup>
<OptionGroup name="NodeOptions">
    <Option name="LicenseUsageDetailMinDays" value="90" ></Option>
</OptionGroup>  
</DomainMeta>

Desired output

<csm>
  <system osname='linux' hostname='panther' />
  <product>
    <DomainMeta>
    <Gateways>
    <NodeRef name="N_116489" host="panther" httpPort="18,448" port="18,449" />
    </Gateways>
    <OptionGroup name="DomainOptions">
        <Option name="LicenseUsageDetailMinDays" value="90" ></Option>
    </OptionGroup>
    <OptionGroup name="NodeOptions">
        <Option name="LicenseUsageDetailMinDays" value="90" ></Option>
    </OptionGroup>
    </DomainMeta>
  </product>
</csm>

    You can do it if you use StreamingMarkupBuilder like so:

    import groovy.xml.XmlUtil
import groovy.xml.StreamingMarkupBuilder

def xml = new XmlSlurper().parse("E:\\DomainMeta.xml")

def out = new StreamingMarkupBuilder().bind { 
  csl {
    system(osname:"linux", hostname:"panther")
    product() {
       mkp.yield xml
    }
  }
}

println XmlUtil.serialize( out )

    Edit — Answer to secondary unrelated question

    If you have that in a variable called txt, you should be able to do:

    txt = txt.replace( '&lt;', '<' )
         .replace( '&gt;', '>' )

    Then, pass the txt to XmlSlurper.parseText()

    Though really, I’d say that this is an issue with the thing that is writing the source out so it is unusable as xml, but pretty on the web.
