How are you using the classes in that package to parse XML? If you're using SAX, then you can access those values through the "Attributes atts" parameter of the startElement callback.

public String getXMLValue(Document doc, String name) {
NodeList nlist=doc.getElementsByTagName(name);
String value = nlist.item(0).getFirstChild().getNodeValue();
return value;
}


i access using this method. However, i am not sure how to do it for multiple attributes.... can you give me some advise and show me example?

OK, so you're using DOM, not SAX. The code you showed doesn't handle attributes. Something like this may do the trick:

nlist.item(0).getAttributes().getNamedItem("north")

great! thanks it works perfectly.

if i only need to process the xml to extract value once, should i be using SAX?
