hello
I'm trying to pass in a value to the empty tag <ds: Modulus> </ds:Modulus>..brief structure of the xml below:

the Java code:

When it executes the getNodeName; the println returns a value of #text.
I'm not too sure what this means. I'm trying to figure out how to pass the string as a value of the ds:Modulus tag.
I was thinking of using the setNodeValue but this is of type Node.
I'm just really unsure how to go about doing this
Please help - it would be unbelieveably appreciated.
If anyone can do this for me and it works, I will give them my programmatically created keystore/keypair/extracting
keys from keystore and breaking them down into modulus and exponents.
Or I can will have the A*Search algorithm up and running tomorrow
if that's preferred.

Emma,
I think the reason you see "#text" as the node name is that the contents of the tag is a series of blanks -- a whitespace, text node.
I'm not sure what result you would get if instead of coding

you coded

Since the latter version is a true no-content element, it really is different than your pair of tags with whitespace between.
If you coded

or whatever, you should be able to get the value as a string, and then try to convert it to a number (int or bigint).
I'm not sure what the problem is.

If I understand you properly, the child of the first ds.Modulus Element is a Text node. Look at the JavaDocs for org.w3c.dom.Node - you will see that for a Text node, getNodeName returns "#text" and getNodeValue returns the text contents.
