Insert XML fragment into request object

Hi McDonald,

Thanks for the tip...I'll give it a go.

I have a new challenge now, perhaps you can help.

Given:
def toadd = '''

'''

Is it possible to append this to a request similiar to how the following code works:

def node = requestHolder.getDomNode("//ns22:updateRequest[1]")
// use DOMCategory to simplify things..
use( DOMCategory )
{
def ns = "http://xyz.ca/ebusiness/ProductService"
// BUILD NODE TO APPEND...add new "ProdSet" element..
def prodSet = node.appendNode( new QName( ns, "ProdSet", "prod1"))
}
requestHolder.updateProperty(true)

But where "def prodSet = node.appendNode" is called I think it would be easier to have some function to parse the "toadd" variable to QName so appendNode can be called.
For instance,
def prodSet = node.appendNode(...parseTextToQName(toadd))

Building a QName representation of the xml string represented by "toadd" would be hell. Confusion around how to do this has caused most of my issues.
Really appreciate your help and recommendations.
