    <p>I am trying to assign a value to an empty XML node but it doesn't seem to be working. My XML structure is as so:</p> <pre><code>&lt;createCustomer&gt; &lt;customerAttributes&gt; &lt;firstName&gt;&lt;/firstName&gt; &lt;lastName&gt;&lt;/lastName&gt; &lt;/customerAttributes&gt; &lt;/createCustomer&gt; </code></pre> <p>I am trying to assign a first name and surname in the following code:</p> <pre><code>private void createXML(Document skeleton, Map params) { skeleton.getDocumentElement().normalize(); NodeList customerNodes = skeleton.getElementsByTagName("customerAttributes"); for(int i=0; i&lt;customerNodes.getLength(); i++) { NodeList children = customerNodes.item(i).getChildNodes(); for(int j=0; j&lt;children.getLength(); j++) { String childNode = children.item(j).getNodeName(); if(childNode.equalsIgnoreCase("firstName")){ children.item(j).setNodeValue(String.valueOf(params.get("fname"))); System.out.println(children.item(j)); } else if (childNode.equalsIgnoreCase("lastName")){ children.item(j).setNodeValue(String.valueOf(params.get("sname"))); System.out.println(children.item(j)); } } } } } </code></pre> <p>The output of the print statements are:</p> <p><code>firstname: null</code> <code>surname: null</code></p> <p>but I know for certain that the values in the map are correct because print statements output the expected map values. Also, if I replace the <code>params.get("string")</code> with a hardcoded string, I still get the output: <code>firstname: null</code>. The code is not throwing any exceptions. I've also tried <code>setTextContent</code> but this doesn't work either</p>

    1. COcheck that you pasted the correct code snippet; the outer loop seems duplicated; also, pasting the exception you get, if any, is useful

    2. CO@guido thanks I've formatted the code to be easier to read. The code is not giving any exceptions it builds and runs ok

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
