digester understanding again...

["Henrique, Manuel" <Ma...@logicacmg.com>]

Hello all,

Here I come again with my digester :))

So, I have my xml file, I have created my digester and all the needed
classes for my xml tags, and do a digester.parse(). Still here all is ok.

I start Tomcat 5.0 and look to the log file. All seems ok, my xml file is
consumed, all the classes are instancied etc...etc...

My question:

If I have an xml file like this

<computer>
         <brand name="compcool">
                <model>faster_than_all</model>
                <serialnumber>1248965<serialnumber>
         </brand>
         <brand name="pcassociated">
                <model>very_expensive</model>
                <serialnumber>34564<serialnumber>
         </brand>
         <brand name="pcassociated">
                <model>expensive_too</model>
                <serialnumber>9999999999<serialnumber>
         </brand>
</computer>


how can I get after in my Java code the serial number of the model "expen
sive_too" for example??? How can I be sure to get the good data as I have
two identical brand names?

Thank you for your help.

Regards,

Manuel

ps: I know that for someones the question seems to be very basic but
remember when you were beginner and be kind to me

Depends how you designed your classes that the XML is digested into ;-)

If you're looking for specific kinds of queries, then the class(es)
should be geared to supporting those [aggregation, composition and
keying constructs associated with the semantics of the data need to be
reflected in the digested output].

If you don't do that, you might as well use a DOMParser and XPath / XQuery.
