If you expect to return a path to the target node, e.g "RootType,Device.RrpDevice" as well as and attribute of the target node content, then simply recursively walking the tree is your best bet. OTOH, If all you want to do is directly access a node or the subtree beneath it, use a HashMap as a fast node index. Use a TreeMap if you need an ordered index of node names. -- martin@ | Martin Gregorie gregorie. | Essex, UK org |
