Hi All, Below is the sample XML and i want to sort it based on "id" attribute that is available in the "key" element.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <main> <key id="24"> <insert> <triggername>ACTIVITY_TRIG</triggername> <schema>ACTIVITY</schema> </insert> </key> <key id="47"> <update> <triggername>POLICY.RISK_TRIG</triggername> <schema>POLICY.RISK</schema> </update> </key> <key id="70"> <insert> <triggername>ACTIVITY_TRIG</triggername> <schema>ACTIVITY</schema> <cascade/> </insert> </key> <key id="192"> <update> <triggername>POLICY.GENERAL_TRIG</triggername> <schema>POLICY.GENERAL</schema> </update> </key> <key id="93"> <update> <triggername>POLICY.GENERAL_TRIG</triggername> <schema>POLICY.GENERAL</schema> <cascade/> </update> </key> </main> I have written the below code to do sorting. SAXReader reader = new SAXReader(); Document document = reader.read( new File( "d:/test1.xml" ) ); List speakers = document.selectNodes( "//main/key", "@id"); for(int i=0;i<speakers.size();i++) { Element el = (Element)speakers.get(i); System.out.println(el.attributeValue("id")); } and the output i got was 192 24 47 70 93 I tried different alternatives but i was not able to sort this in ascending order. Please advice. Thanks, Raju SPAN Systems Corporation, Bangalore.
