I’m trying to parse some XML and populate a List of blog posts. I’ve got the parsing bit working (at least it does when all I do is print them to screen). However when I try and set a class variable with the value using the proper setter method, and then push that complete object to my list, I’m getting a whole load of nulls. I’ve tried everything I can think of, and therefore would like to enlist the expertise that lurks here.

There is a lot of code, so I’ve posted it up to here:

Java Code Sample

Would really appreciate some tips as to where I’m going wrong.

Many thanks

    You need to use a debugger here – I quickly threw together a BlogPost class for testing, and I see that your code is creating a BlogPost for every node individually – so <rss> creates a blank BlogPost, as do <channel>, <atom:link> etc.

    I haven’t used SAX Parsers much (or this in-depth of XML parsing really), but I think you need to be only creating BlogPosts in the endElement method perhaps.
