Re: Java and XML
You need to use an XML Parser to parse the file and providing the XML is 'well-formed' you will be able to navigate the XML structure.
I would recommend you use a DOM parser , this will give you access to a DOM (Document Object Model) object which will then enable you to navigate through the structure.
Look at documentation on JAXP (Java API for XML Processing) on how to do this.
This link should get you started "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_API_for_XML_Processing"
Have fun!

Re: Java and XML
String Xml="<book>harrypotter</book>";
Document dom = DocumentHelper.parseText(Xml);
Node node=dom.selectSingleNode("//book"); //navigate the xml structure by Xpath,"//" means throuth root
String value=node.getText();
You must import the dom4j.jar first;
