[jdom-interest] RE: getChildren() returns an empty list.. (please help)

[Mirabito, Massimo]

Hello Malachi,
 
As far as question 1 and  2 I was just confused because I did not realize
that I need to traverse the tree to get to the element (thought I could just
go to it directly)
 
For your 3rd question you bring up a very good point. So would this be
better?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<security>
  <application>
    <id>100</application-id>
    <name>Application 1</application-name>
    <description>Application 1Description</application-description>
    <roles>
      <role id="1" name="Role 1" description="Role 1 Desc" />
      <role id="2" name="Role 2" description="Role 2 Desc" />
    </roles>
  </application>
  <user>
    <role id="1" name="Role 1" description="Role 1 Desc">
      <access id="1" name="can">111111</access>
    </role>
    <role id="2" name="Role 2" description="Role 2 Desc">
      <access id="2" name="irb_id">4444444</access>
    </role>
  </user>
</security>


thanks in advance

Max
