node Remove Child

Hi Guys, 

            I am using
theElement.getParentNode().removeChild(theElement) to remove child
nodes. 

 

      My xmls look like the following.

 

      <root>

            <acct acct="12345">

                  <children>...

            </acct>

            <acct acct="12345">

                  <children>...

            </acct>

            <acct acct="12345">

                  <children>...

            </acct>

      </root>

            

      I load an array an unmatched keys and I want to remove all of
them. Works

"Most of the Time".  For reasons I can not explain some times it appears
to simply ignore the remove child request.  Sadly that will not work.

 

I am using sun java version 1.6.0_13...  

 

 

Code follows:

            for(int i=0;i<nlTran.getLength();i++){

                  it = unMatched.iterator();

                  theElement = (Element) nlTran.item(i);

                  nnmD = nlTran.item(i).getAttributes();

                  matchAcct =
nnmD.getNamedItem("tAcct").getTextContent().trim();

                  while(it.hasNext()){

 
if((matchAcct.equals(it.next()))&&(theElement.getNodeType()==Node.ELEMEN
T_NODE)){

                              try{

                                    Node removed =
theElement.getParentNode().removeChild(theElement);

                              }catch(Exception de){

 
System.out.println(de.getLocalizedMessage());

                              }

                              break;

                        }

                  }

            }

unmatched is an arraylist of account numbers to remove tAcct is the tran
account number.  I am processing a list of files and it works on all but
6 of 26 files.

I am not seeing any exceptions raised.

 

WTF-YO
