I see that you have said that there is no root element, but if you have an
automated process that concatenates the xml docs together then what is the
blacking factor to having the last step of that process create an arbitrary
root tag then using something like the following to parse the parts that you
need?
NodeList tempList;
Node tempNode;
File fXmlFile = new File(docName);
DocumentBuilderFactory dbFactory =
DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder dBuilder = dbFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = dBuilder.parse(fXmlFile);
doc.getDocumentElement().normalize();
tempList = doc.getElementsByTagName("[node that you specify]");
Then you use getFirstChil(), getNextSibling() and getNodeValue() to grab the
data that you require. I agree that it is not ideal, but I have used it on
occasion.

Subject: Re: [configuration] XML fragments
Hi Billy,
Such a file can't be parsed in Java since it's not well formed. You can
try to add a root element when the files are concatenated to work around
this issue.
