Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

Hello. I come from the soft world of databinding, but for the current app Castor is too big. I must use DOM, but I didn't find a sample code to read element in a direct way, that's without traversing the tree.

The question is: after having a Document instance, is there something like:

  document.getPath("RBS8/DETAIL/ITEMS/AZI/ITEM/DATA")

to read elements and attribute?

This is a sample XML:

<RBS8>
  <DETAIL>
    <ITEMS>
      <AZI>
        <ITEM NAME="F.MI" STATE="TRUE">
          <DATA FIELDID="81098" VALUE="Fiat"/>
          <DATA FIELDID="81099" VALUE="8.0400"/>
      </AZI>
    </ITEMS>
  </DETAIL>
</RBS8>

Thanks alot
Enrico
