XML Document - Checking Parent Node and then Iterating through the document

Question

I am having a challenge trying to iterate through an XML Document. Please help.

• For document 1 my approach works fine by first inspecting the parent node and then extracting the child node info.
• I now have 2 XML outputs, the second differs from the first, I
  inspect the one and then extract the necessary information but for document two there is more than one entry i need to extract
• both documents differ from each other
• I am following some examples online and its helpful, kindly could you help with the code for document two below
• While debugging I can inspect the document and nodes, I see them but I am struggling to extract the info
• int length = nlist.getLength(), this is always Zero/0, changing the getElementsByTagName it the returns a length of 3.

This Code Works for the first document

NodeList nodeList = xmlDocument.getElementsByTagName("add:MemberKey");
            for (int i = 0; i < nodeList.getLength(); i++) {
                Node currentNode = nodeList.item(i);
                if (currentNode.getNodeType() != Node.ELEMENT_NODE)
                    continue;
                Element currentElement = (Element)currentNode;
                String tagValue = null;
                tagValue = getElementValue("add:MemberCID",currentElement);
                System.out.println(tagValue);
            }

This is my second document

Code to inspect my second document: I am struggling

public static checkMessageType(org.w3c.dom.Document xmlDocument) {
    Element docEle = xmlDocument.getDocumentElement();
    NodeList nlist= docEle.getElementsByTagName("bbb:CreateMemberResultAnnotation");
    int length = nlist.getLength(); // I am getting a 0 length here, 
    List<Element> childElement = new ArrayList<>();
    for (int i = 0; i < nlist.getLength(); i++) {
        //Node node = nlist.item(i).getOwnerDocument().getDocumentElement();
       // if (node instanceof Element) {
           // childElement.add((Element) node);
        if (nlist.item(i).getNodeType() == Node.ELEMENT_NODE) {
            Element el = (Element) nlist.item(i);
            if (el.getNodeName().contains("bbb:MemberInst")) {
                String XMLMemberID = el.getElementsByTagName("add:MemberID").item(0).getTextContent();
                String XMLMemberSeq = el.getElementsByTagName("add:MemberSeq").item(0).getTextContent();
            }
        }
 }

Answer 1

is your xml even parsed? What is this p tag at line 10? it is not closed anywhere. also there is a createMemberResult closing tag at line 36 but no opening before that

This test here runs successfully :

      @Test
   public void test() throws ParserConfigurationException, SAXException, IOException {
      DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
      DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
      URL resource = getClass().getResource("/yourxml.xml");
      Document xmlDocument = builder.parse(resource.openStream());
      Element docEle = xmlDocument.getDocumentElement();
      NodeList nlist = docEle.getElementsByTagName("bbb:CreateMemberResultAnnotation");
      int length = nlist.getLength(); // I am getting a 0 length here,
      List<Element> childElement = new ArrayList<>();
      for (int i = 0; i < nlist.getLength(); i++) {
         // Node node = nlist.item(i).getOwnerDocument().getDocumentElement();
         // if (node instanceof Element) {
         // childElement.add((Element) node);
         if (nlist.item(i).getNodeType() == Node.ELEMENT_NODE) {
