Extracting attribute-values from nodes

[Doppeldiplomand <do...@gmx.de>]

Hi,

how can I extract the attribute-value from attributes in nodes?
I know about the getAttribute()-method on elements, but is there a similar
method which works on nodes?
Or do I have to use a different way?

Make editings conform to XML Schema

[ibrahim <ib...@natlab.research.philips.com>]

...sorry, i send this again. Looks like the previous one was not sent...

Hi,

I need to make sure any editings to XML document conform to its corresponding
XML Schema, so that any attempt of editing that doesn't conform the schema will
be rejected right away (not accepted first and checked later on)

I read in the archives that Xerces can tell a lot about schema by using
GrammarResolver. Jeff Lansing even kindly provides a code for it. But I'm new to
Java and I can't see how I can use it. I can't even understand what
GrammarResolver is doing.. does (GrammarResolver instance).getGrammar gives a
DOM tree of schema.. ? (tried to read the API but I find it not very
describing.. )

I use Xerces-J 1.2.3, with DOMParser to parse the document.

Can anyone plzzzzz help me ? Or if you have any suggestion of other means to do
this ? Would appreciate examples a lot..

thx,
cath

  Node node = ...;
  String value = ((Element)node).getAttribute("attribute");

Elements are the only type of node that can have attributes.

Try the getAttributes() method of the Node interface. It returns a
NamedNodeMap, so you can get the associated attributes from that.
