Hello, I'm sorry if this has been mentioned before on the mailing list. I tried to look through the archives, but I didn't see this.
I am trying to use the latest Xerces-J parser, but I get an exception when I try to access the first child from the root. I get a java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.xerces.dom.DeferredTextImpl exception thrown when I try to execute the line: child = (Element)trueroot.getFirstChild(); I'm not sure what to do, since I'm not sure what the exception message is telling me. I am using the IBM JDK 1.1.8 JDK on Linux 2.2.13. The Xerces-J parser is the latest from CVS. Here is a code snipet: DOMParser parser = new DOMParser(); parser.parse(filename); Document doc = parser.getDocument(); Element trueroot = (Element)doc.getDocumentElement(); Element child = (Element)trueroot.getFirstChild(); Any hints or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much, Seth
