Read xml values in namespaces/SOAP response using groovy XMLParser

Question

I'm using a groovy file where I used xmlParser to generate XML.Now, I want to get the tag values of the xml.

Here is my code

def rootnode = new XmlParser().parseText(responseXml);

Output

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:tns="urn:creditCard">
    <SOAP-ENV:Body><ns1:creditCardResponse xmlns:ns1="urn:creditCard">
        <return xsi:type="tns:RPResponse">
            <Status xsi:type="xsd:int">0</Status>

        </return>
    </ns1:creditCardResponse>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>

I have tried like rootnode.Status[0].text()

However its not getting. How can I get "Status" value in it? Little confused.

Thanks,

Just use the "path" down to the var you are interested. You either have to "quote" the namespaces (that means, use strings as accessors, as chars like : and - would be interpreted by groovy) or use the groovy.xml.Namespace helper. E.g. (see comments):

def xml = new groovy.util.XmlParser().parseText('''\
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:tns="urn:creditCard">
    <SOAP-ENV:Body><ns1:creditCardResponse xmlns:ns1="urn:creditCard">
        <return xsi:type="tns:RPResponse">
            <Status xsi:type="xsd:int">666</Status>

        </return>
    </ns1:creditCardResponse>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
''')

// XXX namespaces quoted
assert xml.'SOAP-ENV:Body'.'ns1:creditCardResponse'.return.Status.text()=='666'

// XXX access by namespace
def nsSoapEnv = new groovy.xml.Namespace('http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/', 'SOAP-ENV')
def nsNs1 = new groovy.xml.Namespace('urn:creditCard', 'ns1')
assert xml[nsSoapEnv.Body][nsNs1.creditCardResponse].return.Status.text()=='666'
