access child node in parsed tree (xml parse)

Hi,

i am trying to access a child node within an parsed xml tree(blob data from oracle) in an groovy test step.

First i get a blob out from my database and parse this blob, afterwards i select the needed nodes from this stream and save them into properties test step.

The parsed Blob string now looks like:

[ORDER[attributes={}; value=[EXEC_DATE[attributes={}; value=[2012-02-27 00:00]], TNUMBER[attributes={}; value=[1754783]], ABZ[attributes={}; value=[ST-V15]], KZ[attributes={}; value=[01]], AB[attributes={}; value=[6]], CITY[attributes={}; value=[LONDON]], PRODUCT_CODE[attributes={}; value=[CL_23]], SL[attributes={}; value=[SL_NAME[attributes={}; value=[SL-269]], SL_MANUFACTURER[attributes={}; value=[HU]], SL_TYPE[attributes={}; value=[TM]], SL_PORTS[attributes={}; value=[SL_PORT[attributes={}; value=[014-06]]]]]]]]]

Nodes that do not have any childs are working with below groovy code, e.g for the ID("TNUMBER") but not for the NAME("SL_NAME"):

{ 
 blob = (oracle.sql.BLOB)it.original;

 byte_stream = blob.getBinaryStream();
 if( byte_stream == null )
 {
  log.info "Test: Received null stream!"
 }
 else
 {
  def node = new groovy.util.XmlParser(false,false).parse(byte_stream);
  def blobid = node.get("TNUMBER").text();
  propertyStep.setPropertyValue("ID", blobid);

  
  def blobname = node.get("SL_NAME").text();
  propertyStep.setPropertyValue("NAME", blobname);
  log.info "successful parse: " + blobid + blobname;

 }
}

My Problem is that i am not able to get the value of the child node "SL_NAME", in this example "SL-269" with my groovy code above.

It would be great if someone who's more experienced in groovy and soapui could help me access nodes with childs.
