Message: [QUOTE="nuthinking, post: 3075419"] I can't believe I'm stuck on this, but DocumentBuilderFactory.setIgnoringElementContentWhitespace doesn't seem to work at all, I still get the new lines as text elements :S Any idea? Here the small code I used: protected static void parseDom(File file) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance(); factory.setIgnoringComments(true); factory.setIgnoringElementContentWhitespace(true); DocumentBuilder parser; try { parser = factory.newDocumentBuilder(); Document document = parser.parse(file); NodeList list = document.getChildNodes(); int len = list.getLength(); System.out.println("#parseDom: len:" + len); for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) { Node element = list.item(i); parseNode(element); } } catch (ParserConfigurationException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } catch (SAXException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } catch (IOException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } } private static void parseNode(Node node) { System.out.println("#parseNode:" + node.getNodeName() + " = " + node.getNodeValue() + " type:" + node.getNodeType()); NamedNodeMap attributes = node.getAttributes(); if(attributes != null){ int len = attributes.getLength(); for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) { Node attr = attributes.item(i); parseAttribute(attr); } } if(!node.hasChildNodes()) return; NodeList list = node.getChildNodes(); int len = list.getLength(); System.out.println("-- num children: " + len); for(int i= 0; i<len; i++) { Node child = list.item(i); parseNode(child); } System.out.println("------"); } private static void parseAttribute(Node node) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub System.out.println("#parseAttribute:" + node.getNodeName() + " = " + node.getNodeValue()); } Thanks, chr [/QUOTE]
