Issues retrieving repeated child nodes using XPath using Java
I have the below structure where parent nodes are repeating nodes - lets say 5 nodes. Within these 5 parent nodes, I have 5 repeating child nodes with 5 attributes. I need to retrieve the values of attributes depending upon the value of the attribute.
Lets say one of the attribute values is "Credit card" for one of the rows and for the other 4 rows value of the attribute value is "Debit card". When the value == "Credit card", I need to take the values of the other attributes. I have tested that only one row exists for attribute value == "Credit card" and at least one row exists for the attribute value == "Debit card"
So basically I need to get a hold of the 5 child nodes for each instance of the parent.
I am able to retrieve the 5 instance of parent nodes with the right XPath, but I retrieve the child nodes using the getchild() method, but I get child nodes as 25 (in case if we have 5 parent nodes - 5 * 5) but instead of 5 nodes. Basically, I am unable to get a hold of child nodes (count 5) . Whatever way I use, I always retrieve all child nodes under all parent nodes, instead of a particular parent node.
<Parent1>
<child1>"Attribute-1"=Value "Attribute-2"=Value2 "Attribute-3"="Value3" "Attribute-4"=Value2 "Attribute-5"=Value2</child1>
<child2>"Attribute-1"=Value "Attribute-2"=Value2 "Attribute-3"="Value3" "Attribute-4"=Value2 "Attribute-5"=Value2</child2>
