RE: RE: parse the child elements of an element

That helps. Also If I want to parse and output automobile and
all its child elements and ignore ship and truck, is there an
easy way to do it other than checking explicitly for
localName.equals("options") and localName.equals("option")like
in the code below the xml file.

 <?xml-stylesheet href="mystyle.css" type="text/css"?>
> > <dealership>
> > <automobile make="Buick" model="Century" color="blue">
> > <options>
> > <option>convertible</option>
> > <option>CD Player</option>
> > </options>
> > </automobile>
> > <ship make="sailboat" color="red">
> > </ship>
     <truck color="blue">
     </truck>
> > </dealership>


 public void startElement(String namespaceURI, String localName,
String qName, Attributes atts) 
{ 
       
if((localName.equals("automobile")||localName.equals("options")||localName.equals("option")
)
        { 
                System.out.println("Start element: " +
localName); 
                for (int i = 0; i < atts.getLength(); i++) 
                { 
                        String name = atts.getLocalName(i); 
                        String value = atts.getValue(i); 
                        System.out.println("Attribute: " +
name); 
                        System.out.println("Value: " + value); 
                } 
        } 
        else 
                super.startElement( namespaceURI, localName,
qName, atts ); 
}
