Hi, I have the following xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>  
<c1>
 <c2 id="0001" n="CM" urlget="/at/CsM" urle="/E/login.jsp">
 </c2>
 <c2 id="0002" n="C2M" urlget="/a2t/CsM" urle="/E2/login.jsp">
 </c2>
</c1> 

I'm trying to load c2's attributes this way:

Document d =
 DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance()
 .newDocumentBuilder()
 .parse("epxy.xml");
Element  c1 = d.getDocumentElement();
Element c2 = (Element)c1.getFirstChild();
while (c2 != null) {
  ...         
  c2 = (Element)c2.getNextSibling();
}

But I get the exception java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.xerces.dom.DeferredTextImpl incompatible with org.w3c.dom.Element in the line

Element c2 = (Element)c1.getFirstChild();

before the loop.

Any hints ? Thanks.
