[#document: null] as a result of parsing

[mars76]

Hi All ,
I am trying to parse an XML File using DOMParser . The version of xerces i am using is 1.1.3 (One comes with WAS3.5)
When i tried parsing a file I got the Document as [#document: null]
================================================================
DocumentBuilderFactory docbuilderfact= DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder documentbuilder = docbuilderfact.newDocumentBuilder();
System.out.println("xmlURL......:" + xmlConfigFile);
Document document = documentbuilder.parse(xmlConfigFile);
System.out.println("Document="+document);
==============================================
Pls let me know how to resolve this..
Thanks in Advance

Thats exactly what you should get. See the JavaDocs documentation for org.w3c.dom.Node - there is a nice table that shows the nodeName and nodeValue for all the different types of node. For a Document, the node Name is #document and the nodeValue is null.
You should now be able to do:
Element root = document.getDocumentElement();
to get the root element of the document.
