Message: [QUOTE="Richard Saville, post: 597409"] I am trying to use the XPath method selectSingleNode but the compiler gives the error "cannot find symbol". I have the following imports: import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder; import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory; import org.w3c.dom.*; These line compile and execute: oRoot = doc.getDocumentElement(); oNode = oRoot.getFirstChild(); These lines will not compile: oNode = selectSingleNode( oRoot, "memberID"); oNode = oRoot.selectSingleNode( oRoot, "memberID"); I have tried using various imports that have xPath but the compiler always says "does not exist" import weblogic.apache.xpath; import org.jdom.xpath.*; I'm sure I am missing something basic here. Please help! [/QUOTE]
