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 listernerconfig node 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 "Configurat ion/Listener.Whiteb oard/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
