getLocalName() method on Node

["Gupta, Vikas" <Vi...@commerceone.com>]

Hi
There is a method getLocalName() on the DOM Node object. It is supposed to
return the local part of the fully qualified node name i.e. the part of the
name to the right of the : in a namespace qualified name. 
Somehow it keeps returning a null to me. I am using xerces via jaxp. Is
there some setting on the jaxp that I need to do before parsing my document?
Any help will be appreciated.

Thx

Hi Gupta,

The getLocalName() method of course works only on Nodes which happen to
be Elements (or attributes).Other Node types don't have names.

Are you quite certain that the Node object you are calling getLocalName
on is really an Element (maybe try getNodeType() to verify this)?

Regards,

Simon
