Hi,

I have the following kind of xml with me.
<School>
<Class1>
<Student1>
<FirstName>
</FirstName>
</Student1>
<Student2>
<FirstName>
</FirstName>
</Student2>
</Class1>
<Class2>
<Student3>
<LastName>
</LastName>
</Student3>
</Class2>
</School>

I want to read all the parent nodes of Firstname, LastName etc. ie I want to write a code which returns me that the childnode FirstName has parentnodes as Student1, Class1. Then Childnode FirstName has parentnode as Student2. Then childnode LastName has parentnode as Student3,Class2.

How can I do it using Xpath or xmlParser?

A node only has one parent. You seem to be including some of the other ancestors, but not all of them, in some of your lists of "parent" nodes. I don't see any consistency in what you want. However if you want to get all the ancestors of a node, then there's the ancestors axis.

I want to do it using java code and the attribute names are also not constant. How can I do it in Java code using XPath or XMLParser?
 
You would be much easier to understand if you took that bucket off of your head. And that goes for the tiny ad too!
