rest assured xpath not picking up xml value in response

Question

i'm not able to find the text from resultDesc:

given().config(RestAssured.config().xmlConfig(xmlConfig().with().namespaceAware(false)))
        .log().all()
        .body(requestAsString)
        .when().post("/services/SubscribeMgrService")
        .then().log().all()
        .assertThat().statusCode(200)
    //            .body("ChangeOptionalOfferResultMsg/ResultHeader/ResultCode",equalTo("102023093"));
//            .body("ns2:ResultCode",equalTo("102023093"));
                .body("/soapenv:Envelope/soapenv:Body/ns4:ChangeOptionalOfferResultMsg/ResultHeader/ns2:ResultCode",equalTo("102023093"));

I have tried both with and with namespace but i keep getting:

XML path /soapenv:Envelope/soapenv:Body/ns4:ChangeOptionalOfferResultMsg/ResultHeader/ns2:ResultCode doesn't match.
Expected: 102023093
  Actual: <ChangeOptionalOffer161102010133The current request is duplicate with the earlier request that was received and was processed.020220215154146nullnullnullnullnull>

The actual response:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
  <soapenv:Body>
    <ns4:ChangeOptionalOfferResultMsg xmlns:ns7="http://www.amdocs.com/wsdl/bss/acctcredit" xmlns:ns6="http://www.amdocs.com/wsdl/bss/query" xmlns:ns5="http://www.amdocs.com/wsdl/bss/newsubscriber" xmlns:ns4="http://www.amdocs.com/wsdl/bss/subscribemgr" xmlns:ns3="http://www.amdocs.com/wsdl/bss/subscribe" xmlns:ns2="http://www.amdocs.com/wsdl/bss/shared">

Some links I've tried: https://github.com/rest-assured/rest-assured/wiki/Usage#xml-namespaces

and yes the below might work but i would really appreciate the ability to understand this issue at hand?

well I was forgetting about actually declaring the NS right after the .namespaceAware(true) bit

.declareNamespace("soapenv","http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/")
