xml - String (with spaces) to DOM in Java -


i have function converts string dom, , uses javax.xml.xpath.xpathfactory on dom object pull data.

the xpathfactory works fine following string

<root><test><name>a</name></test><test><name>b</name></test></root>

but fails if have spaces between tags

<root> <test> <name>a</name> </test> <test> <name>b</name> </test></root>

i'm using xpathfactory ready values "a" , "b" dom.

can tell me why xpathfactory failing when string has spaces in between tags.

thanks

the xpath correct , works ok, think problem that

list.item(i).getchildnodes().item(0).gettextcontent()); 

gets first child node of node matching xpath, in case of xml spaces spaces right after <employee>, whereas in case of xml without spaces <name> element.

in other words in case spaces child nodes of first employee element (one per line):

[spaces] <name> . . . </name> [spaces] <company-no> . . . </company-no> [spaces] <chunk-id> . . .</chunk-id> 

in case without spaces are:

<name> . . . </name> <company-no> . . . </company-no> <chunk-id> . . .</chunk-id> 

and in first case child nodes need 1, 3 , 5, in second case 0, 1 , 2.

i think should modify piece of code:

 system.out.println("name: " +list.item(i).getchildnodes().item(0).gettextcontent());  system.out.println("company: "+list.item(i).getchildnodes().item(1).gettextcontent());  system.out.println("chunk: "+list.item(i).getchildnodes().item(2).gettextcontent()); 

to either use other xpaths name, company , chunk sub-nodes or skip child nodes containing spaces.
