XPath showing NULL value.Please help.

[luthriaajay]

Why is my xpath giving null for the the flwg

<Configuration>
<Listener.Whiteboard>
        <AQListener>
            <Product>A</Product>
            <Message.Class>XMLMessage</Message.Class>
            <Database>
                <URL></URL>
            </Database>
        </AQListener>
</Listener.Whiteboard>
</Configuration>
 
 
 
Java Code:
---------
 
1) wbCL.initialise(m_config.getNode("/Configuration/Listener.Whiteboard"));
 
2) private void initialise(Node confignode){
 
   XPath xpath = XPathFactory.newInstance().newXPath();
   Node listenerconfignode = (Node)xpath.evaluate("AQListener",confignode, XPathConstants.NODE);
 
   }                                
 
 
 

Why is the listernerconfignode being set to NULL?
Am i missing something?

Check if confignode is null, it may be incorrectly set.
Eventually try to use document node instead of confignode, and build the xpath as "Configuration/Listener.Whiteboard/AQListener"

[luthriaajay]

The confignode is correctly set as when I say:

String szproduct = xpath.evaluate("AQListener/Product/text()", confignode);
System.out.println("szproduct  " + szproduct);
 
Output: EQ.D

Product : A and (not EQ.D) my mistake
