in Java? Or maybe reccomend a book?

Thanks,
Scott

What does 'consuming' mean to you?

I have a web service, it returns an XML stream. I need to access the
XML to get to the data.

Oh, riiiigt.

OK, try this snippet..

DocumentBuilderFactory factory =
DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
/*
factory.setValidating(true);
factory.setNamespaceAware(true);
factory.setSchema(schema);*/
try {
DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document document = builder.parse( f );
....

DocumentBuilder.parse() also accepts a stream, so..
