I want to read a particular user name added in the config.xml under "com.cloudbees.plugins.credentials.impl.UsernamePasswordCredentialsImpl" tag for now but later I may require to read other values as well. I was trying to retrieve the xml first, parse it and then read the value. Below is the further explanation of my requirement.
In my Jenkins instance, the jobs are organized in folders. There are credentials being added in the folder configuration which I can see by accessing the URL for the config.xml. Then I have another event publisher plugin where I need the username from the folder configuration. I initially thought that the username can be extracted by parsing the config.xml file and I am not aware of any way to get this information in the event publisher plugin and I am not sure how to use Java API to access this value without retrieving the xml. Could you please elaborate how Java API can be be used to read the desire value? Can anyone please provide me some guidance regarding this?
