XML reader and get the value from another class

Question

Hello to all, I have stupid question.
I have main.java and ConfigXML.java(read my config xml file).
Code from ConfigXML.java
NodeList flnamelist = flcon.getElementsByTagName("filename");
Element flnameEL= (Element)flnamelist.item(0);
NodeList flnameTEXT = flnameEL.getChildNodes();
String alsl = ((Node)flnameTEXT.item(0)).getNodeValue().trim();How I can get String alsl = ((Node)flnameTEXT.item(0)).getNodeValue().trim(); from my ConfigXML.java to main.java.
Sorry for my bad english

Answer 1

public class ConfigXML {
  private String alsl;
  // constructor goes here if necessary
  public void parse() {
    // something
    NodeList flnamelist = flcon.getElementsByTagName("filename");
    Element flnameEL= (Element)flnamelist.item(0);
    NodeList flnameTEXT = flnameEL.getChildNodes();
    alsl = ((Node)flnameTEXT.item(0)).getNodeValue().trim();
    // Notice that we assigned the data to an instance variable
  public String getAlsl() {
    return alsl;
public class Main {
  // That's a really terrible name but at least let's capitalize it so it's standard
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    ConfigXML config = new ConfigXML();
    config.parse();
    String answer = config.getAlsl();
}
