<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have an Element which may or may not contain a
certain attribute. When I check for the value of this attribute i.e.
elem.getAttribute("type").getValue() and it is not there, my program is throwing
a null pointer exception. I have tried adding a NoSuchAttributeException to my
catch block but my code will not compile. I have seen this exception somewhere
in JDOM documentation. Has it been removed, if so, how can I do
this.</FONT></DIV>
