XPath Specific Element Search

Hello,

I'm trying to get the sessionUID and eNewSTok XML elements in the below XML String using XPath, but I can't determine the XPath expression. The NodeList is empty. Looking at the response XML I don't think I need to declare a namespace for XPath. Any suggestions?

response XML:

    <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

Java code:

    String responseXML = StringEscapeUtils.unescapeXml(sb.toString());
    	    InputSource source = new InputSource(new StringReader(responseXML));
    	    XPath xPath = XPathFactory.newInstance().newXPath();
    	    NodeList list = (NodeList)xPath.evaluate("(//sessionUID)|(//eNewSTok)", source, XPathConstants.NODESET);
    	    for (int i = 0; i < list.getLength(); i++)
    	    {
    	    	System.out.println(list.item(i).getTextContent());
    	    }
