You are right again, that was the parent tree i wrongly assumed that it was the same as the event dispatch.
I get it from this: private void printEvent(Event evt){ Object target = evt.getTarget(); if(target instanceof Element){ Node node = (Node) target; System.out.print("<"); for(;node!=null;node=node.getParentNode()){ System.out.print(node.getLocalName()); if (node instanceof Element){ System.out.print("{"+((Element)node).getAttribute("id")+"}/"); } } System.out.print(">["); NamedNodeMap attrs = ((Node) target).getAttributes(); for(int i =0;i<attrs.getLength();i++){ Node att = attrs.item(i); System.out.print(att.getNodeName()+"("+att.getNodeValue()+") "); } System.out.println(); }else{ System.out.println(evt.getTarget().getClass()); } } From what i understand then, I'm on a dead end and I still need to solve my problem. I think that I will persue the other route with the GVT tree. Even if it is not trivial It should work. Can you give me some hints please? Thanks a lot for you time.
