I am using netbeans 8.1. I am working on using a Palette as a toolbar for creating items in a graph scene. Instead of creating my own nodes for the palette I would like to use the provided Palette factory to create my Palette from an xml folder. Then when the graphscene is clicked on the xml data for the selecteditem I want to parse the xml for the appropriate action class and then instantiate it. I do not want to use drag an drop. I see that the selected item has a xmldataobject in it's lookup, but the document is a null document. What would be the best way to get the data I want from this xmldataobject. For example how would I get class element from the xml file for the selecteditem. If I am missing something or there is an easier way to go about this please let me know.
Thanks, Luke
