Getting Element with Domparser

[serhatyilmaz]

Hi,
I am trying to get the element from a Document object using Domparser by it seems that the element id is not recognized. How can I get a single element from my XML file using getElementById() method? Thank you for your help in advance.

Code: Select all

#include "Poco/AutoPtr.h"
#include "Poco/DOM/Document.h"
#include "Poco/DOM/Element.h"

using Poco::AutoPtr;
using Poco::XML::Element;
using Poco::XML::Document;

AutoPtr<Document> pDoc = new Document;
pDoc->createElement("root");
pRoot->setAttribute("id", "0");
AutoPtr<Element> pRoot = pDoc->getElementById("0", "id");

In other words, your element must have an "id" attribute for getElementById() to work. Alternatively, you can use getNodeByPath().

I could create a new Element and add id attribute but I need to read an XML file and get exactly that element in the file.
