Parsing Problem

843834Aug 14 2001 — edited Aug 16 2001
My XML file looks like this .....

<properties>

<property>
<name>Sybase Server</name>
<value>OMSDEVL</value>
</property>

<property>
<name>Database</name>
<value>librarydb</value>
</property>

<property>
<name>table-name</name>
<value>BOOKS_MEDIA</value>
</property>

<property>
<name>csv-file</name>
<value>library.txt</value>
</property>

<property>
<name>format-file</name>
<value>library.fmt</value>
</property>

</properties>

and the program looks like that...

import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory;
import org.w3c.dom.Document;
import org.w3c.dom.Node;
import org.w3c.dom.NodeList;
import org.w3c.dom.NamedNodeMap;
import org.xml.sax.SAXException;


public class Test {

public void domParse(String url) {

DocumentBuilder parser;
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();

try {
parser = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = parser.parse(url);
Node myNode = doc.getElementsByTagName("properties").item(0);


if (myNode != null) {

NodeList propChildren = myNode.getChildNodes();
int n = propChildren.getLength();

for (int i=0;i<n;++i) {
Node node = propChildren.item(i);

if (node.getNodeType() == Node.ELEMENT_NODE) {

NodeList nodeChildren = node.getChildNodes();
int m = nodeChildren.getLength();

System.out.println("<" + node.getNodeName() + ">");

for (int j=0;j<m;++j)
if (nodeChildren.item(j).getNodeType() == Node.ELEMENT_NODE) {
Node thisnode = nodeChildren.item(j);
System.out.println("<" + thisnode.getNodeValue() + ">");
}

}

}

}

else

System.out.println("element <properties> not found");

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

}

}

public static void main(String[] args) {

Test atest = new Test();
atest.domParse("C:/temp/properties.xml");

}

}

The output is coming like that

C:\Testing>java Test
<property>
<null>
<null>
<property>
<null>
<null>
<property>
<null>
<null>
<property>
<null>
<null>
<property>
<null>
<null>

Can anybody help?
