I would use Commons Digester
(http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/digester/) or dom4j
(http://www.dom4j.org).

Both allow to access the content of XML using XPath expressions - no
free lunch, but if you master either of these, you will never be afraid
of XML again :-)

Possibly check out the dom4j cookbook first
(http://www.dom4j.org/cookbook.html, "Using XPath"), maybe this is
enough to get your job done..

Hello Andreas
thank you for the fast reply,
is there any site with a near example of extracting attributes values
from a element ?
