Node/NodeList problem [XML/DOM]

Question

Problem: IJava code is not printing out the 2nd node but rather printing the 1st one twice from the XML file.
                        Node firstChildren = doc.getFirstChild();
               String nodeName1 = firstChildren.getNodeName();
               System.out.println(nodeName1);
               Node nextNode = firstChildren.getNextSibling();
               String nodeName = nextNode.getNodeName();
               System.out.println(nodeName);the XML looks like this:
<Office>
             <Employee Employeename="Ryan">
                        <Position>Claims</Position>
             </Employee>
</Office>The Java code prints out:
Office
Office
Also is there a way/method to get the values of an element without making the element values into attributes? getNodeValues returns null for elements.

Answer 1

Not sure your question, You should only have one node at the root of the tree, so you shouldn't be getting two different nodes. walking the roots 'siblings'
An element doesn't have a 'value'. What we perceive a an elements value is just child nodes (Text, Elements, etc) that you need to walk with getFirstChild, getNextSibling, etc.
