Hi,
There is no bug in Xerces.
In this particular case the Node you are looking for has got TEXT Node
as it's child . In order to get this value you need to call the
getNodeValue() on the Text Node but not on the current Node it self.
Pls have a look at the Xerces API documentation for the getNodeValue()
method .
i have modified your code slightly so that it will print the Text you
are looking for. hope this will help you..Regards Sateesh -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, October 09, 2001 12:34 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Problems with Xerces (maybe a bug) Hello! I've written a small program to parse xml files. It's for a university project, every xml file has the same structure so please don't wonder why my code looks so bad ;-) The problem is that the following if loop doesn't extract the value: if (node.getNodeName().equals("rdf:li")) { Element element = (Element)node; if (element.hasAttribute("xml:lang")) { System.out.println(node.getNodeValue()); } } When I say node.getNodeName() it tells me the correct Name, but NodeValue() just tells null. It shouldn't do that. The part of the xml file looks like this: <dc:title> <rdf:Alt> <rdf:li xml:lang="en">Convergence of some two-level overlapping domain decomposition preconditioners with smoothed aggregation coarse spaces� </rdf:li> </rdf:Alt> </dc:title> Do you have a clue what's wrong with it? Could it be a Xerces bug? I've attached the full source and the xml file. Thanks in advance for your help.
