Hi, hmmm ... getData() just returns the same as getText().
My problem is, that I only have a Document with elements containing a 'type'-attribute, which contains names of (simple) Schema datatypes (int,long,date,....) .. e.g. Element <field type="xsd:int">12345</field> should map to an java.lang.Integer(not String!) with the value 12345 - or throw an Exception if the mapping couldn't be performed. (think of a method like "Object mapElementToObject (Element element)") I thought dom4j would perhaps provide necessary mappers/wrappers to do the mapping in a simple manner. thanks for your help Florian -----Ursprungliche Nachricht----- Von: David D.
