RE: parsing DOM tree: How to get attribute values

[Baliyan, Parul]

I'm not sure about this but following code will help u out

// temp is the pointer to ElementLength element in your xml. So if it not a
very first elemnt //trace down till the lement whose attribute u want to get

/*here with this code if u will print the value of temp by usin
DOMNode *temp = element->getFirstChild()->getNextSibling();
temp->getNodeValue()
it will give u "ElementLength "
*/

DOMElement *element  = doc->getDocumentElement();
DOMElement *temp = (DOMElement *)element->getFirstChild()->getNextSibling();

const XMLCh * attribValMin =
temp->getAttribute(XMLString::transcode("min"));
const XMLCh * attribValMax =
temp->getAttribute(XMLString::transcode("max"));

char * szAttribValueMin  = XMLString::transcode(attribValMin);
char * szAttribValueMax  = XMLString::transcode(attribValMax);

Thanx

Subject: parsing DOM tree: How to get attribute values


Hi,

I want to get attribute values of "min" and "max" (see below)
and found this code: Is this the proper sulution for me?

const XMLCh * DOMElementImpl::getAttribute(const XMLCh *nam) const
{
     static const XMLCh emptyString[]  = {0};
     DOMNode * attr=0;

     attr=fAttributes->getNamedItem(nam);

     if (!attr && fAttributes->hasDefaults())
       attr=fDefaultAttributes->getNamedItem(nam);

     const XMLCh *retString = emptyString;
     if (attr != 0)
         retString = attr->getNodeValue();

     return retString;
};


XML:
----
<ElementLength min="2" max="2"/>
