for something that was supposed to be so easy and standardized, learning how to make the DOM do what i want it to do has been a huge pain in the ass.
a lot of it is my fault too, to be sure, like not updating the DTD for XML validation when i changed the layout of the fields in the XML.
so, the DOM was inserting null characters in my nodelists, which is just bad for everyone.
in any case, those simple mistakes have all been cleared up, after hours of debugging, and hopefully a text-based tree walker type majigger will be ready by the end of the night.
with how quickly these tiny errors multiply, i'm beginning to doubt it.
what works:
xml builds (or close to it)
xml validates and loads
given a folder element, the code builds arraylists of file and folder objects. then it lists them.
what doesn't work:
everything else
