[jdom-interest] Element.getText() doesn't work

[Mark Glass]

Hi,

 

Is there a problem with the getText method in the Element class? My code 
runs fine until it gets to

the call for te elements childs text.

 

My code looks

like:

            // Get the root element
            Element root = doc.getRootElement();
            
            String namespace = root.getNamespace().toString();
           
            Element childElement = root.getChild("responseDocDirPath", ns);
           
            // get the path to the response directory

//program <cid:part1.05030704.04020502 at netscape.com> fails at next statement
            if ( null == (m_responseDocDirPath = 
childElement.getTextTrim() ))
                System.out.println("text in child is null");
            else
                System.out.println("Response doc Directory Path = " + 
this.m_responseDocDirPath );

 

 

My XML looks like

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

              <Xpath>/userInfo/firstName</Xpath>

           </keyElementField>

          <responseDoc 
triggerString="juan">XX_CreateRegisteredUserResponse_109.xml</responseDoc>

          <responseDoc 
triggerString="ming">XX_CreateRegisteredUserResponse_110.xml</responseDoc>

 </service>

 </testSimConfiguration>
