I'm trying to use the following to create a document :
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
factory.setValidating(false);
factory.setNamespaceAware(false);
// Create the builder and parse the file
Document doc = factory.newDocumentBuilder().parse(f);
is there something else I need to parse the document correctly? The reason I ask is because, once the element is isolated that contains the necessary information, I'm having to use the following to extract the contents from the CDATA section:
value.addElement(objElmProp.getFirstChild().getNextSibling().getFirstChild().getNodeValue());
The element structure looks like this (Note: I have no control or input over how this element is created):
<property name="propertyValue">
<string><![CDATA[$USER_HOME$$/$MYDIR]]></string>
</property>
objElmProp.getNodeName() finds 'property' which is the above CDATA_SECTION_NODE, but contains useless information for the value ('\n\t\t\t\t\t' is what this element contains for value). In addition, any children are also null or garbage characters.
Another reason I believe there is an issue is because I cannot get changes made to the instance to show up in a new document using the following approach:
// Write the DOM document to the file
Transformer xformer = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
Result result = new StreamResult(new FileOutputStream(file));
xformer.transform(source, result);
I'd appreciate any assistance you can provide.
Thanks,
Sean
