How does Xpath in groovy to return Tags and Values - xpath

Question

I have the following XML, and in SOAPUI Groovy I am attempting go capture a set of XML with its tags and values, for example:
<telephoneNumbers>
<telephone>
<id>125042741</id>
<areaCode>0161</areaCode>
<phoneNumber>4804420</phoneNumber>
<extension>1234</extension>
<usage>Work</usage>
</telephone>
</telephoneNumbers>
im trying to return to following outcome (tags and values):
<telephone>
<id>125042741</id>
<areaCode>0161</areaCode>
<phoneNumber>4804420</phoneNumber>
<extension>1234</extension>
<usage>Work</usage>
</telephone>
Here is the groovy:
def groovyUtils = new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils( context )
def Recall = groovyUtils.getXmlHolder( "Recall#Response" )
def telephone = Recall[ "//telephone//*" ] as String
String returnXml = ""
if ( Recall["//restrict"] != null ) {
returnXml= telephone
}
else
return returnXml

Similar to this answer How do I print a groovy Node with namespace preserved? you could parse the Xml using XmlSlurper and afterwards print the xml nodes you wish to with StreamingMarkupBuilder.
String xml = Recall.getXml()
def telephoneNumbers = new XmlSlurper().parseText(xml)​​​​​​​​
def outputBuilder = new groovy.xml.StreamingMarkupBuilder()
String telephoneXml = outputBuilder.bind { mkp.yield telephoneNumbers.telephone }
I posted a runnable example here: http://groovyconsole.appspot.com/script/1245001 not using SOAPUI but a simple string for demonstration. Hope this helps!
