Thread: java wcf nodelist types

hi

im using this code to get my object from wcf :

NodeList nodes =Tools.GetNodeList(MessageFormat.format(loginUrl,appLogin.GetKey(),appLogin.GetClientID(),profID),"/ArrayOfEvent/Event");     
                int nodeCount = nodes.getLength();         
//iterate over search Result nodes    
 XPathFactory factory = XPathFactory.newInstance();            
 XPath xPath=factory.newXPath();       
for (int i = 0; i < nodeCount; i++) {                
 String venue = xPath.evaluate("Venue", nodes.item(i));         
Date startDate = Date.valueOf(xPath.evaluate("StartDate", nodes.item(i)));         
Date endDate = Date.valueOf(xPath.evaluate("EndDate", nodes.item(i)));          
 Event ev = new Event(venue,startDate,endDate);         list.add(ev);      
 }    
 }   
  catch (Exception e)
 {        
 e.printStackTrace(); 
    }

1.i hope im doing it in the right way, if not please let me know
