error with XML parsing

Question

To parse an XML String I have googled and I have found an example on how to do that, but it dosn't work for me!

When I declare NodeList the following error appeared: required:groovy.util.NodeList, found org.w3c.dom.NodeList

DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
      System.out.println("*********test2*********");
 InputSource is = new InputSource(new StringReader(var2)); 
 Document parse = builder.parse(is);
 NodeList nodes = parse.getElementsByTagName("step");

 for (int i = 0; i < nodes.getLength(); i++)
{
   Element element = (Element) nodes.item(i);

       NodeList name = element.getElementsByTagName("step");
       Element line = (Element) name.item(0);
       System.out.println("Name: " + getCharacterDataFromElement(line));
                System.out.println("______test3_____");
 }

Upadte: I have changed the code using this code but another error appear I think it related to the structure of my xml String:

DocumentBuilderFactory documentBuilderFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory
        .newInstance();
DocumentBuilder documentBuilder = documentBuilderFactory
        .newDocumentBuilder();
InputSource is = new InputSource();
is.setCharacterStream(new StringReader(var2));
Document document = documentBuilder.parse(is);

NodeList nl = document.getElementsByTagName("step");
Element el = (Element) nl.item(0);
Text elText = (Text) el.getChunks();
String theValue = elText.getNodeValue();
System.out.println("value"+theValue);

The error:

Answer 1

You imported the wrong class: You seem to have imported groovy.util.NodeList but need org.w3c.dom.NodeList instead.

Replace import groovy.util.NodeList; at the top of your source file with import org.w3c.dom.NodeList;.
