XML to Element via JDOM?

[Peter the Swede]

I have an XML-file that contains of elements and subelements. How do I
convert the XML-file to an JDOM Element-tree?

The XML can look like this:

<PERSON>
<NAME>Peter</NAME>
<AGE>23</AGE>
</PERSON>

What I want is to be able to get Peter and 23 out of this XML-file.
Preferably by first converting it to an Element and then use the Element to
get the values.

Cheers, Peter

In JDOM use the SAXbuilder to make a new DOM from an XML stream. here
is a snippet ...

ServletInputStream in = request.getInputStream();
Document xmlDoc = null;
SAXBuilder builder = new SAXBuilder();
if (builder == null) {
xmlDoc = null;
} else {
xmlDoc = builder.build(in);
}
........
of course this if for reading the input stream for a servlet, but the
builder also supports write so you could
String strBuffer = " your XML string "
StringWriter in = strBuffer.getWriter();

havefun, -rb
