javap com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.dom.ElementNSImpl gives:
public class com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.dom.ElementNSImpl extends
com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.dom.ElementImpl{
javap com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.dom.ElementImpl gives:
public class com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.dom.ElementImpl extends
com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.dom.ParentNode implements org.w3c.dom.Element{
The clue here is the org.w3c.dom.Element, which is part of the DOM API. So
what you are getting is the dom tree of the contents, and you have to use DOM
methods to traverse it. See
