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

[Jimmy Z. <cra...@co...>]

The navigation has to be based on some criteria (such as specificied in =
an XPath expression).
VTD navigator uses an array of integers to represent a particular =
location in XML, "getCurrentIndex"
only returns one those integers in the array...

What would be the equivalent function calls in DOM that does what you =
described??

  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,"*")) {=20
        //any action
  }
  I think it's not good enough to process my xml. I need another method =
to achieve this:
  method(){
       ancestorTokenIndex =3D vn.getCurrentIndex();
  }
  ...
  foo(){
       vn.toIndex(ancestorTokenIndex);
       int t =3D vn.getText();
       String text =3D 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?=20

  Kindly Regards
