Success! Thanks Wendy.
This is what worked, outside of a few small changes syntax changes, your
thinking is exactly correct.
public TreeMap digest() throws IOException, SAXException {
digester = new Digester();
digester.setValidating(false);
digester.addObjectCreate("DATA/VERSION", TreeMap.class);
digester.addCallMethod("DATA/VERSION/ITEM", "put", 2);
digester.addCallParam("DATA/VERSION/ITEM", 0, "NAME");
digester.addCallParam("DATA/VERSION/ITEM", 1);
return (TreeMap)digester.parse(parseMe);
}
