Q: 

Using bindData method outside of controller

I was wondering if anyone had an idea for the best way to provide the functionality of bindData() outside of my grails controllers. In my current project I have created several groovy classes to model objects returned by an api. In these classes I have a static method that parses xml and returns a List of objects of the class. I would like to skip all the type casting nonsense by using the bindData method in these classes. Any suggestions on how to do this would be appreciated.
