[jdom-interest] traversing the JDOM tree

[Odd Moller]

Maybe something like this will help you:

public static List getSubElements(Element element) {
   List subElements = new ArrayList();
   traverseSubElements(element, null, subElements);
   return subElements;
}

public static List getSubElements(Element element, String name) {
   List subElements = new ArrayList();
   traverseSubElements(element, name, subElements);
   return subElements;
}

private static void traverseSubElements(Element element, String name, List
elements) {
   List children = (name == null) ? element.getChildren() :
element.getChildren(name);
   for (Iterator i = children.iterator(); i.hasNext();) {
      Element subElement = (Element)i.next();
      elements.add(subElement);
      traverseSubElements(subElement, name, elements);
   }
}

hi 
I am using JDOM for the first time. It looks really cool, but one
functionality that I am looking for which is missing in it. And that is
for traversing the JDOM tree.
The getChild and getChildren gets only the elements one level deep. What
If i want to recursively find and Element or check existence of an
element, like getElementByName() or findElement().

Thanks
