Are you expecting to get the text in the element <b>?
This code is not accurate, since if you supply the same XML document without
the corresponding DTD
e.g. <!ELEMENT a (b)>
then the first child, that you expect to be <b> element, will be a
whitespace, which in turn is a #PCDATA, and not an element.
Try to iterate over the whole DOM tree, also have a look at the sample code
examples that come with the xercesJ-2.
