I'm getting nullpointer error when iterating through loop to get the values. I have a xml file like below, i would like to get the values of driverid, vehicleid, act. But java is throwing nullpointer,i'm a beginner plaese don't be rude. Thank you in advance.
package xpath;
import org.w3c.dom.*;
import javax.xml.parsers.*;
import javax.xml.xpath.*;
public class Xpath {
/**
* @param args the command line arguments
*/
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
DocumentBuilderFactory Factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder builder = Factory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = builder.parse("C:/Users/HP/Desktop/solution.xml");
//creating an XPathFactory:
XPathFactory factory = XPathFactory.newInstance();
//using this factory to create an XPath object:
XPath xpath = factory.newXPath();
// XPath Query for showing all nodes value
XPathExpression expr = xpath.compile("problem/solutions/solution[cost='505.9208295302417']/routes/route");
Object result = expr.evaluate(doc, XPathConstants.NODESET);
NodeList nodes = (NodeList) result;
for (int i = 0; i < nodes.getLength(); i++) {
System.out.println(nodes.getLength());
;
Element el = (Element) nodes.item(i);
if (el.getNodeType() == Node.ELEMENT_NODE) {
System.out.println("driverid:" + el.getElementsByTagName("driverId").item(i).getTextContent());
System.out.println("vehicleId:" + el.getElementsByTagName("vehicleId").item(i).getTextContent());
System.out.println("Citizen:" + el.getElementsByTagName("act").item(i).getTextContent());
System.out.println("Element currently in: " + el.getNodeName());
}
}
}
}
The problem seems to occur at line 41, which is
System.out.println("driverid:" + el.getElementsByTagName("driverId").item(i).getTextContent());
(#EDITED)Actually the xml provided above was not the original i thought that posting a smaller sample of the xml would be helpful but no, sorry for the inconvenient. So here is the complete xml file
