Question

I’m facing a particular problem while parsing xml so the parser works fine until it encouters <Url/> tag which contains no value, I already made the test il my code :

static final String ImageHotel = "Url";

…

else if (name.equalsIgnoreCase("ImageHotel")){
                        message.setHotelImage(property.getFirstChild().getNodeValue());
                            if (!marchand.getImgHtlUrl().equalsIgnoreCase("")){
                                message.setHotelImageLink(new URL(marchand.getImgHtlUrl() + property.getFirstChild().getNodeValue()));
                            }else{
                                message.setHotelImageLink(new URL("http://localhost/noimage.jpg"));
                            }
                        }

This keep throwing error even when i tried to bypass by surrounding with try/catch..

any help is welcome

thanks.

I told you that surrounding with try/catch did not work, so, now it does, because i had to track the NullPointerException instead of simple Exception, like this :

   try{
      message.setHotelImage(property.getFirstChild().getNodeValue());
   }catch(NullPointerException nEx){
      marchand.setImgHtlUrl("");
   }

thank you guys and sorry for this alert 😉
