从XML元素读取属性

Question

I'm trying to display the values of "x" using the Java code posted below, but it displays nothing. Please let me know where my mistake is:

Java code:

for (int temp = 0; temp < nList.getLength(); temp++) {
  Node nNode = nList.item(temp);
  System.out.println("\nCurrent Element :" + nNode.getNodeName());
  System.out.println("\n"+nList.getLength());
  if (nNode.getNodeType() == Node.ELEMENT_NODE) {
    Element eElement = (Element) nNode;
    if(eElement.getAttribute("place") != null){
      System.out.println("x: " + eElement.getElementsByTagName("place").item(0).getTextContent());    
    }
  }
}

XML file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<document>  
<group id="Fontanestra">
<place  x="4222873.962227057"   y="2902240.7064015563"  class="hdlamp lamp651

Answer 1

  if(eElement.getAttribute("place") != null){

As far as I understand the XML, "place" is not an attribute

if (nNode.getNodeType() == Node.ELEMENT_NODE) {
   Element eElement = (Element) nNode;
   if ("place".equalsIgnoreCase(eElement.getTagName())){
      System.out.println("x: " +     eElement.getAttribute("x"));    
   }
}

Answer 2

Looking at your code, I think nList was obtained by calling:

NodeList nList = someDocument.getElementsByTagName("group");

Therefore you will need to adjust your looping structure, plus search by name rather than seeking an attribute:

for (int i = 0; i < nList.getLength(); i++) {
  Node groupNode = nList.item(i);

  NodeList placeList = groupNode.getChildNodes();

  for (int j = 0; j < placeList.getLength(); j++) {
    Node placeNode = placeList.item(j);

    if (placeNode instanceof Element) {
      Element element = (Element) placeNode;

      if ("place".equalsIgnoreCase(element.getTagName())) {
        System.out.println("x: " + element.getAttribute("x"));
      }
    }
  }
}
