I am calling a SOAP webService from oracle which is returning xml response

I am trying to catch the boolean value using xmlTable as here but my code is returning parsing error which i cannot catch. Any hint? Below is my code:

FUNCTION XMLTEST (P_XML VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2 AS
V_FLAG VARCHAR2(4000);

BEGIN
SELECT P.boolean
INTO V_FLAG
FROM xmltable('/boolean'
passing xmltype(P_XML)
columns boolean VARCHAR2(30) PATH 'text()') P;
RETURN V_FLAG;
END XMLTEST;

please check this link to preview the xml

What I have tried:

This code below is working fine and returning action value 'like' for this structure

SELECT P.action
INTO V_FLAG
FROM xmltable('/profile/subject/action' passing xmltype(P_XML)
columns subject VARCHAR2(30) PATH 'text()',
action VARCHAR2(30) PATH 'text()',
object XMLTYPE PATH 'object') P;

RETURN V_FLAG;
END XMLTEST;

Solved, the problem was with xmlns=".."

FUNCTION XMLTEST (P_XML VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2 AS
V_FLAG VARCHAR2(4000);
V_XML1 VARCHAR2(4000);
V_XML2 VARCHAR2(4000);
V_XML VARCHAR2(4000);
BEGIN
V_XML1 := SUBSTR(P_XML,0,INSTR(P_XML,'xmlns')-1)||'>';
V_XML2 := SUBSTR(P_XML,INSTR(P_XML,'/Methods">')+10);
V_XML := V_XML1||V_XML2;

SELECT P.boolean
INTO V_FLAG
FROM xmltable('/boolean' passing xmltype(V_XML)
columns boolean VARCHAR2(30) PATH 'text()') P;

RETURN V_FLAG;

END XMLTEST;
