Hints and tricks for Oracle and other stuff...

 Here is sample how to parse XML in Phyton. XML has namespaces.

----------------

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET

xml = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><application xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/application_6.xsd" version="6">  <display-name>ORDS-EAR</display-name>  <module>    <web>      <web-uri>ORDS-WAS-19.1.0.092.1545.war</web-uri>      <context-root>/ords</context-root>    </web>  </module></application>';

tree = ET.ElementTree(ET.fromstring(xml))

#tree = ET.ElementTree(ET.from('application.xml'))

root = tree.getroot()

ns = {'xsi': 'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance',

      'javaee': 'http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee',

      'schemaLocation': 'http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/application_6.xsd'

      }

war_name = '';

for modvar in root.findall('javaee:module', ns):

    for webvar in modvar.findall('javaee:web', ns):

        urivar = webvar.find('javaee:web-uri', ns);

        war_name = urivar.text;

print (war_name);
