I cannot read monsterData. Would someone please take a look
and provide some advice.

Thanks,
Carolyn



XmlNodeList jobPayGradeHi = myDocument.GetElementsByTagName("PayGradeHi");
XmlNodeList jobPayGradeLow = myDocument.GetElementsByTagName("PayGradeLo");
XmlNodeList jobTitles = myDocument.GetElementsByTagName("JobTitle");
XmlNodeList monsterData = myDocument.SelectNodes("/SOAP-ENV:Envelope/SOAP-ENV:Body/JAFolders/OPM:JAFolder/OPM:JobAnnouncement/OPM:ExpireDate/OPM:Day");

for (int i = 0; i < jobTitles.Count; i++)
        {
           Response.Write(jobPayGradeHi[i].ChildNodes[0].Value);//ok
           Response.Write(jobPayGradeLow[i].ChildNodes[0].Value);//ok
           Response.Write(monsterData[i].Value);//causes an error
        }


Here is part of the xml which I am trying to read. If I rename ExpireDate/Day to ExpireDay, it works fine,
the owner of the file will not rename the elements.

<PayGradeHi>09</PayGradeHi>
<PayGradeLo>05</PayGradeLo>
<JobTitle><Analyst</JobTitle>

<ClosingDate>
<Day>31</Day>
<Month>12</Month>
<Year>2070</Year>
</ClosingDate>

<ExpireDate>
<Day>31</Day>
<Month>12</Month>
<Year>2070</Year>
</ExpireDate>

<OpeningDate>
<Day>18</Day>
<Month>02</Month>
<Year>2004</Year>
</OpeningDate>

THis is a little tricky with only a partial document, but...

I assume your SOAP xml document has some namespaces declared in the top.

Your error is probably a null pointer exception of some kind, since monsterData may contain a zero-sized list. In your XPath for monsterData you specify namespace prefixes for SOAP-ENV for the envelope, and OPM for most of your nodes, however on JAFolders you specify no namespace. Is this what you want? If JAFolder does have a namespace then your Xpath will return no matches, hence an empty list.

Try spitting out monsterData.length() or ubound(monsterData) (I'm not totally sure what language you are using) to see the number of nodes in the list.
