To do an XPath query with namespaces in Java, I believe you need to do something like this:

XPath xpath = XPathFactory.newInstance().newXPath();
xpath.setNamespaceContext(new NamespaceContext() {
    @Override
    public String getNamespaceURI(String prefix) {
        switch (prefix) {
            case "env":
                return "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";
            case "ns2":
                return "http://abc.examples.com/";
        }

        return XMLConstants.NULL_NS_URI;
    }

    @Override
    public String getPrefix(String namespaceURI) {
        throw new UnsupportedOperationException("Not supported yet.");
    }

    @Override
    public Iterator getPrefixes(String namespaceURI) {
        throw new UnsupportedOperationException("Not supported yet.");
    }
});

Node getNewTokenResp = 
     (Node) xpath.evaluate("/env:Envelope/env:Body/ns2:getNewTokenResponse", 
     document, XPathConstants.NODE);

You also need to call .setNamespaceAware(true); on your DocumentBuilderFactory before you create the DocumentBuilder to parse your document.
