DOM Location
Hi,
I am not sure if this is the right place to be asking this question but I
was wondering if anyone knows of a way to find the location in the XML file
of a DOM parsed node.
thanks,
Ron.

I don't think this is a question of reporting line
numbers but, rather, in retaining that information
and associating it to the relevant DOM nodes (since
the question was regarding DOM). Since SAX does not
retain any information about the document, the app
would still need to store that information.

box...

You could extend the DOMParser class in order to
keep track of line/column numbers on the callbacks.
Then, you can add this information to the DOM node
that is created. The DOM Level 3 specification has
added methods for handling associated user data.
But please note that DOM Level 3 is not yet
finalized.
There is a sample, dom/DOMAddLines.java, included
with the Xerces package that shows this functionality.

I'd try Document.getElementsByTagName() or http://jaxen.org/
