How to edit xml files through Jenkins pipeline?

[Gajanan Mahajan]

I've to update xml file as a part of pipeline. From following, I've to replace `value` from `true` to false

    <bean id="SecurityFilter" class="xxx">

    <property name="cookieSecurity" value="true"/>

Also, following commented code, I've to uncomment -

    <!--

    <session-config>

    <cookie-config>

    <http-only>true</http-only>

    <secure>false</secure>

    </cookie-config>

    <tracking-mode>COOKIE</tracking-mode>

    </session-config>

    -->

Both of above snippets can be anywhere in xml file. `sed` utility won't help much here. 

Could you please suggest best possible approaches, solutions for this?

Since a pipeline can support groovy, you can try some of the groovy classes:

Hi, 

I'd not recommend processing the XML file inside the Jenkinsfile, all the Groovy code you put in a Jenkins file consumes resources in the Jenkins instance (not in the Agent) and process an XML file can be a heavy process. 

I recommend you call a command-line tool or a Python script to process the file, in that way you will use only resources in the Agent. You have an interesting Jesse Glick presentation about this kind of thing
