I am processing a XML document and iterating through nodes. I want to iterate through the nodes and build a new List of some type. How would I do this with Scala:

Here is my XML traverse code:

  def findClassRef(xmlNode: Elem) = {

    xmlNode\"classDef" foreach { (entry) =>
        val name    = entry \ "@name"
        val classid = entry \ "@classId"
        println(name + "//" + classid)
    }
  }

Where the line of println is, I want to append elements to a list.
