How to get value of XML "Element " type node

[Amol (archive)]

Hi,

I want to fetch some values from a XML file, using a java program. I want to retrieve value of path tag for e.g<path>some path</path> tag.(Marked with **** in the below XML file Example)

My XML File

<maindata id="U00abfd8a-0ce7-ced5-00f6-00fff5bfdea9" host="e05k02" addr="10.64.33.86" domain="BrioPortal 7.0 Development" version="7.0.1.17" date="2003-08-04 14:20:23-07"> <Category name="MigSMACT" version="7.0.1.17" id="U01929031-0e01-ced5-00f6-00fff5bfdea9"> <gendate>2003-08-04 14:20:25-07</gendate> <cattribs> <autodelete>false</autodelete> <browsable>true</browsable> <datecreated>2003-07-28&sp;14:35:33-07</datecreated> <description>New&sp;Category</description> <group name="ADMINISTRATOR" idref="U0159c5ff-13e4-ced5-00f6-00fff5bfdea9"/> <lastmodified>2003-07-28&sp;14:35:33-07</lastmodified> <name>MigSMACT</name> <objectid>HXLWIRBZFXECHBDYAGHLIRRPZe0Ck0N-BCRRP_Z0FK0N</objectid> <objecttype mimetype="Category" idref="U00d5f038-13e8-ced5-00f6-00fff5bfdea9"/> <owner name="dw1portl" idref="U0057d3f5-143b-ced5-00f6-00fff5bfdea9"/> <parentcategory name="Migration Staging" idref="U001c7c0d-1456-ced5-00f6-00fff5bfdea9"/> <parentobjectid>FBRGZLXIDHCITIDYG0R0LLP_eZFkZC-FCLRB_E0FM0C</parentobjectid>

My Java Code

DOMParser tParser = new DOMParser;
tParser.parse("WRTest_11-28-5:38_sdw-sb.xml");
Document doc = tParser.getDocument;

doc.getDocumentElement ;
System.out.println ("Root element :" +
doc.getDocumentElement.getNodeName);

NodeList objCatNodes = doc.getElementsByTagName("path");

int totalCatNodes = objCatNodes.getLength;
System.out.println("Total no of Path tags: " + totalCatNodes);

Node objNode=objCatNodes.item(0);
System.out.println("Path Name : " + objNode.getNodeName);

In the last System.out.println, it is returning NULL.

Please tell me what I need to do, to get the value. Plz help me its Urgent. thanks in advance.

The following will give you what you are looking for:

import org.apache.xerces.parsers.DOMParser;
import org.w3c.dom.*;

public class amol {

public static void main(String args) {

try {
DOMParser tParser = new DOMParser;

tParser.parse(args[0]);
Document doc = tParser.getDocument;
doc.getDocumentElement;
System.out.println ("Root element :" +
doc.getDocumentElement.getNodeName);

NodeList objCatNodes = doc.getElementsByTagName("path");

int totalCatNodes = objCatNodes.getLength;
System.out.println("Total no of Path tags: " + totalCatNodes);

Node objNode=objCatNodes.item(0);

NodeList objNodes = objNode.getChildNodes;
System.out.println("Path Name : " + objNodes.item(0).getNodeValue);

} catch (Exception e) {e.printStackTrace;}
}

}

Enjoy!
