Parsing XML with Xerces-C++

[Matthias Braun]

All,

I reworked my code (thanks to spiff) to go through a document to parse
all elements/attributes. Now it is working (almost) fine, but still
there are some bugs: if the XML document is containnig somehow

<mff><ts>20060804162417+0200</ts></mff>

The output is
Name of the node is "mff"
Value of the node is "20060804162417+0200"
Name of the node is "ts"
Value of the node is "20060804162417+0200"

Also for this kind of XML
<mt>NumDrop.Update</mt>

the code is working because NodeMap->getLength() is equal 1

Thanks,

Matthias

Name of the node is "mff"
Value of the node is "20060804162417+0200"
Name of the node is "ts"
Value of the node is "20060804162417+0200"

Correct behavior for the DOM Level 3 textContent property. See

Joe,

I tried "if (currentNode->getNodeName() != NULL)" but without success.
Could you point out more specific which code fragment you mean?

What I don't understand - why is "NodeMap->getLength()" not working
properly?

Thanks,

Matthias
