Hi I am new to Oracle and I am working on something that needs to parse a SOAP request and save the address to DB Tables. I am using the XML parser in Oracle (XMLType) with XPath but am struggling since I can't figure out the way to parse the SOAP request because it has multiple namespaces. Could anyone give me an example? Thanks in advance!!! edit It would be a typical SOAP request similar to the one below. <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:soap="http://soap.service.****.com"> <soapenv:Header /> <soapenv:Body> <soap:UpdateElem> <soap:request> <soap:att1>123456789</soap:att1> <soap:att2 xsi:nil="true" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" /> <soap:att3>L</soap:att3> ..... </soap:request> </soap:UpdateElem> </soapenv:Body> </soapenv:Envelope> I need to retrieve parameters att1, att2... and save them in to a DB table.
