So I've gotten help from here already so I figured why not try it out again!? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I'm using HTTP client and making a POST request; the response is an XML body that looks like the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<CartLink 
    xmlns="http://api.gsicommerce.com/schema/ews/1.0">
    <Name>vSisFfYlAPwAAAE_CPBZ3qYh</Name>
    <Uri>carts/vSisFfYlAPwAAAE_CPBZ3qYh</Uri>
</CartLink>

Now...

I have an HttpEntity which is

[HttpResponse].getEntity(). 

Then I get a String representation of the response (which is XML in this case) by saying

String content = EntityUtils.toString(HttpEntity)

I tried following some of the suggestions on this post: How to create a XML object from String in Java? but it did not seem to work for me. When I built up the document it still appeared to be null.

MY END GOAL here is just to get the NAME field.. i.e. the "vSisFfYlAPwAAAE_CPBZ3qYh" part. So do I want to build up a document and then extract it...? Or is there a simpler way? I've been trying different things and I can't seem to get it to work.

Thanks for all of the help guys, it is most appreciated!!
