}
}// end for loop
}// end outer if
}// end method
You can invoke it by
printElement(doc.getDocumentElement());
Where doc is a DOM document.
There are several types of nodes. Element, CDATA,and text to name a few.
If you try to print out an element node value you get null. I suspect that
is the problem you were having?

Subject: Problem with DOMParser
Hello. I am having some issues using the DOMParser. I read the
Documentation. And I believe I am doing everything correctly. The
following
code reads in the xmlResponse.xml document correctly, you can even get the
name of the Nodes within the document. BUT you can't retrieve thier
values.
Any Idea what could be the issue?
DOMParser p = new DOMParser();
InputSource source = new InputSource("xmlResponse.xml");
p.parse(source);
Document doc = p.getDocument();
Element docElement = doc.getDocumentElement();
for (int i =0; i < docElement.getChildNodes().getLength();
i++)
{
System.out.println(docElement.getChildNodes
().item(i).getNodeName());
System.out.println(docElement.getChildNodes
().item(i).getNodeValue());
}
