Question

Linking Java and Arbortext

Hello gurus!

Today I'm having a problem with some of my java methods, I created an
Arbortext button which calls through aDocument doc = Acl.getDOMDocument("0");
getElementsByTagName("Sect1");

childsByTag.getLength());
for(int i=0; i < childsByTag.getLength(); i++){
this.getNodeContent(node,");
childByTag node that I have found in my first oid_find_childrenoid,root_children_arr,"SectX") < in java and get the
elements of the root_children_arr, in order to process them in a
recursive function.

Please if anybody could help me I would be pretty grateful. As always I
really appreciate your time, help and support.

Regards,
Paulette

    You could either iterate through the DOM itself, or just use an XPath to
    get a set of applicable nodes.

    For XPath, you'll also need to add some helper functions, as XPath support
    isn't native, but can be exposed through ACL.

    See example:

    trick I would think.
