JAXP Problems

[John Woolsey]

Okay I am having trouble with JAXP. I parse through the tree and find my 
element_nodes easily. Then I go for getNodeValue and it always seems to 
be null. I am using Xerces 2 to process. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

                                                                        
                       - thanx - JAW

       System.setProperty(
       "javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory",
       "org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl");
       return dfactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
     HashMap result = new HashMap();
     Document doc = XML.getFactory().newDocumentBuilder().parse(
     new InputSource( new FileInputStream(deployPath + 
"META-INF/ejb-jar.xml")));
     Node node = XPathAPI.selectSingleNode( doc, 
"ejb-jar/enterprise-beans");

     NodeList childList = node.getChildNodes();
     for( int i=0;i<childList.getLength();i++){
       Node child = childList.item(i);
       if( child.getNodeType() == Node.ELEMENT_NODE){
         Element element = (Element)child;
         String name = element.getTagName();
         NamedNodeMap namedNodeMap = element.getAttributes();
         System.out.println( name + "  " + 
namedNodeMap.item(0).getNodeValue() );
         result.put( name, child.getNodeValue() );
       }
     }
     return result;
