java Get the list or name of all attributes in a XML element -

i have xml element

   <base baseatt1="aaa" baseatt2="tt">         <innerelement att1="one" att2="two" att3="bazinga"/>    </base> 

and list of attributes. both base element , inner element.

i dont know name of innerelement can have many different names.

 nodelist baseelmntlst_gold  = goldanalysis.getelementsbytagname("base");  element baseelmnt_gold = (element) baseelmntlst_gold.item(0); 

the goal kind of dictionary output,

for example xml above output dictionary valuse.

baseatt1 = "aaa" baseatt2 = "tt" att1 = "one" att2 = "two" att3 = "bazinga" 

i using jre 1.5

here plain dom based solution (however there nothing wrong combine xpath dom in java):

nodelist baseelmntlst_gold  = goldanalysis.getelementsbytagname("base"); element baseelmnt_gold = (element) baseelmntlst_gold.item(0);  namednodemap baseelmnt_gold_attr = baseelmnt_gold.getattributes(); (int = 0; < baseelmnt_gold_attr.getlength(); ++i) {     node attr = baseelmnt_gold_attr.item(i);     system.out.println(attr.getnodename() + " = \"" + attr.getnodevalue() + "\""); }  nodelist innerelmntlst_gold = baseelmnt_gold.getchildnodes(); element innerelement_gold = null; (int = 0; < innerelmntlst_gold.getlength(); ++i) {     if (innerelmntlst_gold.item(i) instanceof element)     {         innerelement_gold = (element) innerelmntlst_gold.item(i);         break; // first child     } }  namednodemap innerelmnt_gold_attr = innerelement_gold.getattributes(); (int = 0; < innerelmnt_gold_attr.getlength(); ++i) {     node attr = innerelmnt_gold_attr.item(i);     system.out.println(attr.getnodename() + " = \"" + attr.getnodevalue() + "\""); } 

result:

baseatt1 = "aaa" baseatt2 = "tt" att1 = "one" att2 = "two" att3 = "bazinga"
