I'm currently trying to work with an XML file whereby I am required to update specific data.
In this case, the .xml file stores a list of guest information and the program has to allow user to change guest's details anytime. Below is a sample of my .xml file as well as the codes that supposely update the elements.
The problem I am currently facing is that it only changes the the value of the first guest everytime(John). How do i use the "position" parameter that i passsed in to find a specific guest node? e.g position = 2 , david's name will be changed instead. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?><data>
<Guest_List>
<Guest>
<name>John</name>
<address>NTU Hall 17 #01-111</address>
<country>Singapore</country>
<gender>Male</gender>
<nationality>Singaporean</nationality>
<contact>92003239</contact>
<creditCardNo>1234567812345678</creditCardNo>
<creditCardCSV>432</creditCardCSV>
<creditCardExpDate>11/16</creditCardExpDate>
<identity>U0000000I</identity>
</Guest>
<Guest>
<name>David</name>
<address>Jurong East St32 #02-222</address>
<country>Singapore</country>
<gender>Male</gender>
<nationality>Singaporean</nationality>
<contact>93482032</contact>
<creditCardNo>1234567812345678</creditCardNo>
<creditCardCSV>588</creditCardCSV>
<creditCardExpDate>3/16</creditCardExpDate>
<identity>U1234567I</identity>
</Guest>
</Guest_List>
</data>
And the method
public static void updateGuestList(int position,ArrayList<Guest> g){
try{
String filepath = "guestList.xml";
DocumentBuilderFactory docFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder docBuilder = docFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = docBuilder.parse(filepath);
NodeList nodes1 = doc.getElementsByTagName("Guest_List");
TransformerFactory transformerFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transformer = transformerFactory.newTransformer();
DOMSource source = new DOMSource(doc);
StreamResult result = new StreamResult(new File(filepath));
System.out.println("1.)Update Name:\n2.)Update Address:\n3.)"
+ "Update Country:\n4.)Update Gender:\n5.)Update Contact:\n"
+ "6.)Update Nationality:\n7.)Update Credit card number:\n"
+ "8.)Update Credit card CSV code:\n9.)Update Credit card expiry date:\n"
+ "10.)Update Identification No:");
int userInput = sc.nextInt();
switch(userInput){
case 1:
System.out.println("1.)Enter new Name:");
String name = sc.next();
for(int j=0;j<nodes1.getLength();j++)
{
//Get the staff element by tag name directly
Node nodes = doc.getElementsByTagName("Guest").item(j);
//loop the staff child node
NodeList list = nodes.getChildNodes();
for (int i = 0; i != list.getLength(); ++i)
{
Node child = list.item(i);
if (child.getNodeName().equals("name")) {
child.getFirstChild().setNodeValue(name) ;
}
}
}
transformer.transform(source, result);
g.get(position).setGuestName(name);
break;
}
}
catch(Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
