I have started with the following code for xml in java.It is right now incomplete.

================================================== ==========

import java.io.File;
import org.w3c.dom.Document;
import org.w3c.dom.*;

import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder;

import org.xml.sax.SAXException;
import org.xml.sax.SAXParseException;

public class try3{


public static void main (String argv []){
try {


DocumentBuilderFactory docBuilderFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder docBuilder = docBuilderFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = docBuilder.parse (new File("try.xml"));

// normalize text representation
doc.getDocumentElement ().normalize ();
System.out.println ("Root element of the doc is " + doc.getDocumentElement().getNodeName());


NodeList listOfPersons = doc.getElementsByTagName("RECORD5");
int totalPersons = listOfPersons.getLength();
System.out.println("Total no of people : " + totalPersons);
for(int s=0; s<listOfPersons.getLength() ; s++){
Node firstPersonNode = listOfPersons.item(s);

}
}
}
================================================
The element RECORD5 has attributes, UNAME and PASSWORD.
How do I access the values of these two attributes.
If I get the value of Node firstPersonNode printed then it gives null value.Why is it so.
I am new to xml in java.So help is highly appreciated
Thanx

Element nodes don't have a value. I'm not very familiar with the Java implementation of the XML dom api but I would imagine that to get the value of an attribute (attribute nodes do have a value) then you would write:

How can one parse a xml string in java program?
