Re: How to check for null vaues in an XML String using java

How about you retrieve node for each element of interest.  Access it's
child node that carries the text of that element and then look at the
length of the text of the value associated with that node?  Or something
like that?  I think that's what I'd do.  I'm pretty sure there is no api
node.getEmptyChildren() or anything along those lines.

Rob.
