Taken from the "Addressbook" example :
after getting the node from Xindice you can execute Xpath request to have
the value :
<code>
while (results.hasMoreResources()) {
.... snip ....
XMLResource resource = (XMLResource) results.nextResource();
// Cast to Dom Node
Node originalnode = resource.getContentAsDOM();
.... snip ....
XObject xo = new XObject(); // note from poster : bahhh this initialization
will be scratched by the following ;-)
.... snip .....
xo = XPathAPI.eval(originalnode, "/person/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'work']");
person.setWorkPhone(xo.toString());
</code>I hope it helps, Julien ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matthew Van Horn" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, December 12, 2002 2:56 AM Subject: Re: Retrieving Attribute Values > > On Thursday, December 12, 2002, at 03:37 AM, Paul J.
