Your problem is that you are searching for the value of an element, not
the element name, i.e. there are no elements named SndwichFillings,
Dictionary or SidebarTitle. Your element names are all named "key". I
can never remember how to filter based on the value of an element of a
key using the default expression language. With XML I use the XPath
expression lanaguage.

Hi,
I'm writing a program that must load, search, edit and save Mac OS X
plist files.
I was attempting to use apple's NS* foundation classes, but I couldn't
work out how to write to the plist files (maybe I'm just stupid).
I searched around the internet and was overjoyed to find
apache.commons.configuration.
I've played with it for the past few days, trying to figure out how
I'm meant to get data out of the plist files I'm working with.
So far, nothing I've tried has worked:
***CODE***
XMLPropertyListConfiguration sigh = new
XMLPropertyListConfiguration(plistPath);
sigh.load();
System.out.println(sigh.containsKey("SandwichFillings")); //this
prints "true" - great!
//What I actually want, is the "SidebarTitle" string. When I try:
sigh.containsKey("SidebarTitle");
//or
sigh.containsKey("SandwichFillings.Dictionary.SidebarTitle");
//or any other combination that I could think of - I get false.
***/CODE***
If I save the file with a different name, I can open it and see that
the information has all been copied correctly.
I just haven't been able to figure out how to access/edit information
in the file.
For the past two days I've been trawling the internet and trying
everything I could think of, but I am yet to succeed.
Is what I want to do even possible? If so, please tell me how!
Please! It's been driving me insane.
This is an example of the files I'll be reading (currently I want to
get key = SidebarTitle, and change its value).

I'm using Netbeans 6.01 with Mavenide, Maven2. I get no errors at
compile time, no error during my attempts to get the key/value (unless
one counts "null" when you know it's damn-well there as an error!).
Thank you for taking the time to read my message,
Mike
