[Vtd-xml-users] Need more arbitrary random access

[tony y. <gao...@gm...>]

Hi all:

I know the VTD-XML is based on some kind of cursor navigation. But I
searched all API docs and can't find how to random access the token I
wanted. Just a method:
if (vn.toElement(VTDNav.NEXT_CHILD,"*")) {
      //any action
}
I think it's not good enough to process my xml. I need another method to
achieve this:
method(){
     ancestorTokenIndex = vn.getCurrentIndex();
}
...
foo(){
     vn.toIndex(ancestorTokenIndex);
     int t = vn.getText();
     String text = vn.toNormalizedString(t) ;
     ...
}
Why I need more arbitrary random access? I just need it. And I think it's
easy to implement because VTD-xml design concept, isn't it?
