I wanted to use JDOM to parse the XML returned by Facebook but with no luck.
Example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<users_getInfo_response xmlns="
http://api.facebook.com/1.0/" xmlns:xsi="
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="
http://api.facebook.com/1.0/ http://api.facebook.com/1.0/facebook.xsd" list="true">
<user>
<uid>622204888</uid>
<sex>male</sex>
<name>My Full Name</name>
</user>
</users_getInfo_response>
And my test case:
public class FacebookXmlTestCase extends TestCase {
private static Logger log = Logger.getLogger(FacebookXmlTestCase.class);
public void testTemp() throws Exception {
DocumentBuilderFactory docBuilderFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory
.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder docBuilder = docBuilderFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
// Parse the XML file and build the Document object in RAM
org.w3c.dom.Document doc = (org.w3c.dom.Document) docBuilder.parse(new File(
"src/test/java/users_getInfo_response.xml"));
//Document jdomDoc = new DOMBuilder().build(doc);
//Element root = jdomDoc.getRootElement();
XPathFactory factory = XPathFactory
.newInstance(XPathFactory.DEFAULT_OBJECT_MODEL_URI);
XPath xpath = factory.newXPath();
log.info(xpath.evaluate(
"/users_getInfo_response/user/uid", doc));
Node node = (Node) xpath.evaluate("/users_getInfo_response/user/name", doc, XPathConstants.NODE);
log.info("node.getNodeValue(): " + node);
}
}
I am able to convert the w3c document to jdom document but whatever I try to get the Element or e.getAttributeValue("name"), it is always NULL.
I tried w3c parser and javax.xml.xpath, they worked but jdom is easier than w3c so I wanted to use jdom.
Please advice.
Thanks a lot & regards,
