Just comparing one string how to get the node?

Question

hi group,
I get the string value like this:
String listselvalue = getJList1().getSelectedValue().toString();
Just i am comparing this with particular node.(which is in tree) like this:
TreePath path = getmy_tree().getPathForRow(1);
DefaultMutableTreeNode selnode = (DefaultMutableTreeNode)path.getLastPathComponent();
Enumeration enum = selnode.children();
while(enum.hasMoreElements())
     if(enum.nextElement().toString().equalsIgnoreCase(listselvalue))
          //here what trick I have to use to get that node.(if it matches)
thank u...

You need your node for both your test and your manipulation if the test is succesfull, so just keep a ref to your node before the test, and use that ref for both test and manipulation. Within your code, it should look like this:
Enumeration elts = selnode.children();
while ( elts.hasMoreElements() ) {
     // keep a ref to the current node,
     // so you can bith test its name
     // and manipulate it if it match you critiria
     Object currentNode = elts.nextElement();
     if ( currentNode.toString().equalsIgnoreCase( listValue ) ) {
          // here you have your currentNode object
          // that is a DefaultMutableTreeNode
          doNodeJob( currentNode );
}
