Edas, #getNodeValue will not return you the contents of an element. You will need to get the children of the element, and concatenate all the Text and CDATASection nodes, so something like: NodeList nl = node.getChildNodes(); // handle only the first child StringBuffer value = new StringBuffer(); if (nl.getLength() > 0) { nl = nl.item(0).getChildNodes(); for (int i = 0; i < nl.getLength(); i++) { Node temp = nl.item(i); if ((temp.getNodeType() == Node.TEXT) || (temp.getNodeType() == Node.CDATA_SECTION_NODE)) { value.append( ((Text)temp).getData() ); } } } --Keith Edas Pazera wrote: > > OK, someone tell me I am not crazy yet... :-) > > I have tried all ways I could think of, but I still can't get a simple > function return the value of a child node. > > It is my assumption--confirmed by OpenXML API documentation--that the > following line-- > > node.getChildNodes().item(0).getNodeValue() > > would return "A" as defined in the XML code below-- > > <parent> > <child1>A</child1> > ... > <childN>Z</childN> > </parent> > > All I get is empty string!!!
