Re: [xml-dev] extract the value attribute of a node in a xml file.
Hi:

The lang is Java and the am using the Oracle XML DOM Parser
So, will the below work for the below xml file--?

URL info_xml_url = new URL("file://" + "/temp/info.xml");
 XMLDocument xmlDocument = null;
 NodeList nodeList = null;

 DOMParser parser = new DOMParser();
 parser.parse(info_xml_url);
 xmlDocument = parser.getDocument();

 nodeList=xmlDocument.selectNodes("/Targets//Target/Property");
 for(int i=0; i<nodeList.length(); i++)
 {
 if (XMLElement)nodeList.item(i).
 getAttribute("NAME").equals("HTTPPort")
 {
    String port_val = node.getAttribute("value");
 }
 }
