Whenever I need to parse XML, I use the built-in E4X framework to access what I need.

For example, if I need to retrieve the name attribute, I use this syntax:

result = result_XML.*::["XMI.content"].UML::Model[0].@name

There are various other accessors,all described here: https://svn.wso2.org/repos/wso2/tags/carbon/0.1alpha/mashup/java/xdocs/e4xquickstart.html

I always use this approach because I do not like to depend on other extensions, especially when there is a built-in capability in the platform to do that.

The E4X framework is not exactly something extremely easy to understand, but also not a huge task - hence I suggest trying this.
