for some reason im having difficulty reading an xml file in my java code. the below methods are trying to set and return a root element using jdom libraries. though when i run a junit test and expect the code to print the root, it gives me instead a nullpointer exception caused by Wurzel = document.getRootElement();. id really appreciate some help here. btw the path is correct, the file has no weird structure and contains no errors. so no problems there. I read some other threads here about junit testing and nullpointerexception. was not much of a help..thx in advance
public void SetWurzel() {
builder = new SAXBuilder();
xmlFile = new File(Pfad);
try {
document = (Document) builder.build(xmlFile);
}
catch (IOException e) {
JOptionPane
.showMessageDialog(
null,
"Bitte prüfen Sie die Zugriffsrechte auf Ihre Datei und geben "
+ "Sie diese gegebenenfalls frei. ");
} catch (JDOMException e) {
JOptionPane
.showMessageDialog(
null,
"Bitte Prüfen Sie die Struktur der einzulesenden XMLDatei auf Fehlern"
+ " und fehlende Elemente.");
}
Wurzel = document.getRootElement();
}
public Element GetWurzel() {
return Wurzel;
}
and here is the junit test im running on it.
@Before
public void testSetPfad() {
this.input = new XML_Input();
}
@Test
public void testsetWurzel() {
input.setPfad("C:\\Users\\me\\workspace\\Workspace_uni\\Tests\\test1.xml");
input.SetWurzel();
System.out.println(input.GetWurzel().getText());
}
After making the changes earcam had suggested, i got the following exception stack trace:
java.io.FileNotFoundException:
C:\Users\arm\workspace\Workspace_uni\Tests\test1.xml (Das System kann den angegebenen Pfad nicht finden)
