Hi Marc
I guess it depends on what you want to get. For example you could get the
<intro> element and iterate through its content and do different things
depending on if its a Text node or an Element node?
Element intro = ...;
for ( Iterator iter = intro.nodeIterator(); iter.hasNext(); ) {
Node node = (Node) iter.next();
if ( node instanceof Element ) {
...
}
String xml = node.asXML();
// whatever...
}
So I guess it depends on what you want to do. Are you trying to output the
XML of whats inside the <intro> XML without the <intro> tag? If so this
should do the trick fine...
Writer out = new FileWriter( "foo.xml" );
for ( Iterator iter = intro.nodeIterator(); iter.hasNext(); ) {
Node node = (Node) iter.next();
node.write( out );
}

Subject: [dom4j-user] database to document OK, but document to database...
Hi folks,
I've done pretty well getting dom4j to take content from my database and
construct a document object and then an XML file, but I'm having a bit
of a trouble getting the data I need out of a document and putting into
the database.
The problem appears to be rooted in the fact that my XML documents are
somewhat unstructured with mixed content at different levels.
For example:
<intro>
<p><b>Content, content, content</b></p>
<p>More, content, contentcontent, contentcontent,
contentcontent, contentcontent, contentcontent, contentcontent,
contentcontent, contentcontent, contentcontent, contentcontent,
contentcontent, contentcontent, contentcontent, contentcontent,
contentcontent, <some other tag>contentcontent</some other tag>,
contentcontent, contentcontent, contentcontent, contentcontent,
content</p>
</intro>
If I grab this content using the asXML method on the intro node, the
<intro> tags come with it, and I don't want them to. But if I use the
getText or the getValueOf method, it won't return anything in the <p>
tags. Is there a better way to go about this?
Thanks,
Marc
