Best way to architect my java and XML project...

Hi,

I am very new to java programming and was looking for some help with the best way to make my project.

I want to have a basic XML file to be parsed:

<xml>
<books>
<book>
<title>LOTR</title>
<link>.../1.xml</link>
</book>
<book>
<title>Bambi</title>
<link>2.xml</link>
</book>
..etc..
</books>
</xml>

I want the title to displayed to the user in a list, and then when they click an option I want to grab the relevant file, 2.xml for bambi, then parse that file and display to the user.

2.xml:
<xml>
<book>
<element1>title</element1>
<element2>dev</element2>
<element3>pub</element3>
<element4>pages</element4>
...etc...
</book>
</xml>


What is the best method to achieve this??

Thank you very much for your help,

Sam

Hello samiles. Welcome to the Java Programming Forums :D

Take a look at this tutorial about DOM parse:

This is what I use when working with XML.
