How to select the root element

Hi all,

I need to select the root element from a xml document but
without
knowing its structure.

XmlObject[] elems = document.selectPath("...");

I would like to know how to execute a statement like
"document.getRootElement()."

How can I do that ?

Regards
ferp

Patrizio,

There are a number of ways to find out the name of the
document root or
return the object that represents its content, but the first
that comes
to mind is using the cursor:

XmlCursor xc = document.newCursor();
xc.toFirstChild();
QName nameOfTopLevelElement = xc.getName();
XmlObject contentOfTopLevelElement = xc.getObject();
