I would use the org.w3c.dom methods for Element -

use getElementsByTagName( "Conceptos" )

with one of those Elements getElementsByTagName("Concepto")

with a Concepto Element getAttribute("whatever")

Harold's Processing XML with Java book is available free online, just search. It is loaded with practical examples.

Well, have you tried getting them directly?

Also, from what I can see, your second concepto has some quotes in the descripcion attribute, that should be escaped.

Also, as Paul told you here, don't use == to compare strings. Use the String.equals method.

Claudiu, William;
You have been of great help actually with constructive comments, than you very much! I was able to solve my problem.
 
Do the next thing next. That’s a pretty good rule. Read the tiny ad, that’s a pretty good rule, too.
