Accessing data From a node

austinf · June 6th, 2006, 11:55 PM

Hi i have a small problem. my XML File is as follows:

Code:

<Assets>
 <Asset Code="30097" >
  <Level Code="30091" TagName="MarketCap"/>
  <Level Code="30092" TagName="Sector"/>
 </Asset>
</Assets>

I have to access the TagName from my java program using a dom4j object.(This document is in dom4j format).

I have the Asset Code 30097 and the code for the Level as 30091. how can i access the TagName.
i have tried using the following :

domObj.valueOf ("//Assets/Asset[@Code='" + iAssetCode + "']/Level[@Code='" + iLevelCode + "']/@TagName");

plz help.

Thanks

Your XPath expression looks fine to me. But I'm not familiar with DOM4J's XPath interface. Can you get simpler XPath expressions to work?
