That should give you what you want. I verified it with XPE, but have not tried it on DOM4J.
Let me know if it works. :-)

Thank you for your reply as well as code snippet. But that's not exactlly
what I was looking for.
My applogies if I did not explained well in my prevous message. The
code snippet in your message will be able to get the <ContactInfo>
subemelement fine. And I have no problem to getting that.
My question was to get the rest of XML DOM, excluding the prviously
selected sublelement, <ContactInfo>. To wit, I am looking for a simple
way to get the result without parsing the XML document by excluding
the previously selected subelement. The result I am expecting to get
is as follows:
Initial XML:
/<Patient>/
/ <Age>39</Age>///
/ <Gender>Female</Gender>///
/ <ContactInfo>///
/ <PhoneNumber>123-456-7890</PhoneNumber>///
/ <EmailAddress>[EMAIL PROTECTED]</EmailAddress>///
/ </ContactInfo>///
/</Patient>///
The result XML:
/<Patient>/
/ <Age>39</Age>///
/ <Gender>Female</Gender>///
/</Patient>///
Thank you.
Any more comments?
Regards,
Pae

If I understand you correctly, the following will return <Patient>
element:
SAXReader reader = new SAXReader();
Document document = reader.read( new File( "patient_records.xml" ) );
Element contactInfo = document.selectSingleNode( "//ContactInfo",
"." );
Element patient = contactInfor.getParent();
Then you can use the Node API to traverse the <Patient> element
returned.
Also, if <Patient> is the root element, then you can do the following:
SAXReader reader = new SAXReader();
Document document = reader.read( new File( "patient_records.xml" ) );
Element patient = document.getRootElement();
Best regards
