java xml element,java xml将节点转换为Element

I know this was asked many times but I still cannot get it to work. I convert xml string to Document object and then parse it. Here is the code:

import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder;

import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory;

import org.w3c.dom.*;

DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();

DocumentBuilder builder;

try

{

builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();

Document document = builder.parse( new InputSource( new StringReader( result ) ) );

Node head = document.getFirstChild();

if(head != null)

{

NodeList airportList = head.getChildNodes();

for(int i=0; i

Node n = airportList.item(i);

Element airportElem = (Element)n;

}

}

catch (Exception e) {

e.printStackTrace();

}

When I cast the Node object n to Element I get an exception java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.harmony.xml.dom.TextImpl cannot be cast to org.w3c.dom.Element. When I check the node type of the Node object it says Node.TEXT_NODE. I believe it should be Node.ELEMENT_NODE. Am I right?

So how do I convert Node to Element, so I can do something like element.getAttribute("attrName").

Here is my XML:

Abu Dhabi

AUH

Amsterdam

AMS

Antalya

AYT

Bangkok

BKK

Thanks in advance!

Probably not, the parser is probably right. It means that some of the nodes in what you're parsing are text nodes. For example:

bar

In the above, we have a foo element containing a text node. (The text node contains the text "bar".)

Similarly, consider:

baz

If your XML document literally looks like the above, it contains a root element foo with these child nodes (in order):

A text node with some whitespace in it

A bar element

A text node with some more whitespace in it

Note that the bar element is not the first child of foo. If it looked like this:

baz

then the bar element would be the first child of foo.
