Hi,



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

the call for the 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  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" ?>
