Hi everybody
Is that possible i could parse an xml document using netbeans ? If yes then where should i put my xml doument in the project folder. Please look at the code and suggest me if there are problems;
import org.w3c.dom.Document;
import org.apache.xerces.parsers.DOMParser;
import org.xml.sax.SAXException;
import java.io.IOException;
* @author Kash
public class SimpleParse {
public static void main(String[] args) {
if (args.length != 1) {
System.err.println(
"Usage: java SimpleParse <filename>");
System.exit(1);
try {
     // Creates a parser object
     DOMParser parser = new DOMParser();
     // Parses an XML Document
     parser.parse("department2.xml");
     // Gets a Document object
     Document doc = parser.getDocument();
     // Does something
} catch (SAXException se) {
System.out.println("Parser error found: "
+se.getMessage());
System.exit(1);
} catch (IOException ioe) {
     System.out.println("IO error found: "
+ ioe.getMessage());
     System.exit(1);
}

Hello!
I have strange behaviors too with the parser.
When I use getNodeValue to extract the string value of a Node (included in a CDATA), the method returns only a part of the string, and I don't know why!!!
My XML il like this:
<TABLEDEF>
<TABLE1>
<VALUE><[CDATA[value 1]]></VALUE>
</TABLE1>
<TABLE2>
<VALUE><[CDATA[value 2]]></VALUE>
</TABLE2>
</TABLEDEF>
I checked it with a validator, and the XML file is ok!!
With the XML above, I could get the value "value1", but randomly, for the other TABLEs, the value is truncated. This value can have more than 255 characters...
I don't really know what is wrong...
Best regards
