Why doesn't the XMLREAD function work properly in MATLAB 6.5 (R13)?

Why doesn't the XMLREAD function work properly in MATLAB 6.5 (R13)?

I get an error message when I call the GetNodeType method on a document node created with XMLREAD.

For example:

docNode = xmlread( 'myxmlfile.xml')

docNode =

[#document: null]

docNodeType = docNode.GetNodeType

 ??? No appropriate method or public field GetNodeType for class

 org.apache.xerces.dom.DeferredDocumentImpl.

I cannot find documentation for "DeferredDocumentImpl". Does XMLREAD work yet?

The error:

 ??? No appropriate method or public field GetNodeType for class

 org.apache.xerces.dom.DeferredDocumentImpl.

is caused by the fact that method names are case-sensitive and MATLAB did not recognize the "GetNodeType" method. The correct method is "getNodeType".

MATLAB supports tab-completion, and this will help reduce typing errors at the command prompt. For example, typing:

docNode.get

Then, press the tab key to bring up a list of possible completions for the keyword.
