Kevin Moodley [http://community.jboss.org/people/kevinmoodley] created the discussion "JBPM4.4: XMLUtil.element(Element, String, Parse) always returns false" To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/551842#551842 -------------------------------------------------------------- This method uses the org.w3c.dom.Node.getLocalName() method. In my environment org.w3c.dom.Node is implemented by com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.dom.NodeImpl in JDK 1.6. Unfortunately, in this implementation the getLocalName() method always returns null. /**      * Introduced in DOM Level 2. <p>      *      * Returns the local part of the qualified name of this node.      * For nodes created with a DOM Level 1 method, such as createElement      * from the Document interface, and for nodes of any type other than      * ELEMENT_NODE and ATTRIBUTE_NODE this is the same as the nodeName      * attribute.      * @since WD-DOM-Level-2-19990923      * @see AttrNSImpl      * @see ElementNSImpl      */     public String             getLocalName()     {         return null;     } Questions:           Which implementation of org.w3c.dom.Node should I use?           How do I get that implementation to be picked up instead of the default com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.dom.NodeImpl.[Note: Using Maven] Thanks Kevin -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/551842#551842] Start a new discussion in jBPM at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
