hi this my xml document.i trying to parse this document..
i need to display the id and name values of each objectstore tag in a select box
id as option value and name as option text.
iam doing like this..
e = doc.getDocumentElement();
list = e.getElementsByTagName("name");
for(int i = 0; i < list.getLength(); i++)
n = list.item(i);
if(n.hasChildNodes())
list2 = n.getChildNodes();
for(int j = 0; j < list2.getLength(); j++)
n2 = list2.item(j);
String name =n2.getNodeValue();
                                                  out.println(name);
it displaying the name but also its displaying the value which is name tag of property element..how can i avoid this..
regards,

Answer 1

as <id> is a child of <ObjectStore> it would seem that you should getElementsByName("ObjectStore") first, then find the id and name children.
