> I use groovy to parse a XML file using XmlParser. Just to avoid the handling of namespace prefixes, I used xmlRoot.'**'.findAll() method to find some nodes. The sample code shows how it works correctly until I just read the nodes, because each item passed to the closure is a Node object. But when I change the contents of a node (in this case, just the text of the node), the next call to findAll does not iterate on Node objects. For each character I put in the text, a String object is passed to the closure. I solved it checking the type with instanceof, but it seems to be that this is a bug.
