    <p>Say I've got the following database (generally they will be much bigger):</p> <pre><code>&lt;inventory&gt; &lt;book year="2000"&gt; &lt;title&gt;Snow Crash&lt;/title&gt; &lt;author&gt;Neal Stephenson&lt;/author&gt; &lt;publisher&gt;Spectra&lt;/publisher&gt; &lt;isbn&gt;0553380958&lt;/isbn&gt; &lt;price&gt;14.95&lt;/price&gt; &lt;/book&gt; &lt;book year="2005"&gt; &lt;title&gt;Burning Tower&lt;/title&gt; &lt;author&gt;&lt;/author&gt; &lt;publisher&gt;Pocket&lt;/publisher&gt; &lt;isbn&gt;0743416910&lt;/isbn&gt; &lt;price&gt;5.99&lt;/price&gt; &lt;/book&gt; &lt;book year="1995"&gt; &lt;title&gt;Zodiac&lt;/title&gt; &lt;author&gt;Neal Stephenson&lt;/author&gt; &lt;publisher&gt;Spectra&lt;/publisher&gt; &lt;isbn&gt;0553573862&lt;/isbn&gt; &lt;price&gt;7.50&lt;/price&gt; &lt;/book&gt; &lt;!-- more books... --&gt; </code></pre> <p></p> <p>I want to grab all of the book titles and authors, and then print out the titles and the corresponding authors. Notice that the second entry does not list an author. I've found that XPath will create a list of 3 books, but of only 2 authors. Therefore I can't print the corresponding Book/Author combos by making a loop using the same index values from each list (it will only work for the first entry, then gets off by one, and eventually gives a null pointer exception when there are no more entries in the author list). Is there a way to get around this issue? </p> <p>Thanks for reading.</p> <p>Note: A piece of the code so far: </p> <pre><code>XPathExpression expr1 = xpath.compile("//pre:entry/pre:title/text()"); XPathExpression expr2 = xpath.compile("//pre:entry/pre:author/text()"); Object result1 = expr1.evaluate(doc, XPathConstants.NODESET); Object result2 = expr2.evaluate(doc, XPathConstants.NODESET); NodeList nodes1 = (NodeList) result1; NodeList nodes2 = (NodeList) result2; for (int i = 0; i &lt; nodes1.getLength(); i++) { System.out.println(nodes1.item(i).getNodeValue()); System.out.println(nodes2.item(i).getNodeValue()); } </code></pre>

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.
