Hello there!

I'm trying to get to an xml document root node (named dataroot), I've
tried different things, like :

Node node = doc.getFirstChild();
Node node = doc.getDocumentElement();
Node node = doc.getElementsByTagName("dataroot").item(0);

None of them seem to work, the "node" variable is NULL everytime.

Here's the start of the XML file, I somebody has an idea, it's be very
helpful :) Cheers!

XML Document :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<dataroot xmlns:od="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:officedata"

Part of the code :

public class WWXMLSitesLayer extends IconLayer implements
SelectListener {

   public WWXMLSitesLayer(String fileName, String layerName)
   {
       this.setName(layerName);
       this.loadIcons(readXML(new File(fileName)), layerName);
   }

   // Load icons from XML document named layer
   private void loadIcons(Document doc, String layerName) {

       // Get LayerSet node
       // Node node = findLayerSetByName(doc, layerName);
       Node node = doc.getElementsByTagName("dataroot").item(0);

       if(node == null)
       return; // TODO: throw exception

        loadLayerSet(node);
   }

   // Load icons from a LayerSet node (recursive)
   private void loadLayerSet(Node node) {
       // Process icon child nodes
       Node child;

       for(int i = 0; i < node.getChildNodes().getLength(); i++) {
           // child = node.getChildNodes().item(i);
           child = node.getChildNodes().item(i);
           //if(child.getNodeName().compareToIgnoreCase("SITES") == 0) {
           //    loadLayerSet(child);    // recurse
           //}
           //else if(child.getNodeName().compareToIgnoreCase("SITES") ==
0) {
               // Get icon info
               Node n;
                 n = findChildByName(child, "SITES");
                 String name = n.getTextContent();
                 n = findChildByName(child, "LATITUDE");
