Dear All!

I'm writing a business method of an entity bean which is supposed to
read some informations from an XML file. I use the following code:

To get the parser and the document:
Code:

           DocumentBuilderFactory factory =
DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
           DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
           Document doc = builder.parse( xmlFile );

Then to get the informations I use:

Code:

NodeList nl =  doc.getElementsByTagName( tagName );
           int elemCount = nl.getLength();
           for( int i = 0; i < elemCount; i++ )
           {
               Element element = ( Element )nl.item( i );
               String test = element.getTextContent();
              (...)
           }

And I get the folowing exception:
Code:

org.jboss.tm.JBossTransactionRolledbackException: Unexpected Error
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:
org.w3c.dom.Node.getTextContent()Ljava/lang/String;

The problem is that outside Jboss this works perfectly. So I guess the
problems comes from the fact that jboss uses xerces itself and it
configures diferently the parser or something like this...

When I write :
Code:

               Text tester = (Text) elem.getFirstChild();
              String blalba = tester.getNodeValue();

everything works well.... but still I would like to understand what is
the couse of problems with the other solution.

kind regards

Karol

PS: I use jboss 4.0 and xerces 2.6.2
