Hi,

Given:

<version>1.0.2.3
<message>this is a test</message>
</version>

How does one get "1.0.2.3" back from XOM? I tried Element.getValue() but it includes the value of the children nodes (i.e. "this is a test"). Any ideas?

You'll need to get the child node and then take its value.

element.getChild(0).getValue();
