No different. If you don't know how to do that, either snoop around in the Xindice org.apache.xindice.xml.dom package (which is the compressed DOM package), or if you don't want to use the compressed DOM, just a normal DOM, you'd just instantiate a processor as part of Sun's Java2. If you're not using Sun's Java 2, you'd have to locate the documentation on how to create and use XML parsers using your Java version. Sun has an API called JAXP that you should probably familiarize yourself with -- in doing so you'll find documentation on how to set up and use general-purpose XML processors. A number of the major Java implementations use the JAXP API, which insulates you from having to know about which Java implementation is available.

"Peoples' primary requirement is that some kind of coherence be provided. Stories give people the feeling that there is meaning, that there is ultimately an order lurking behind the incredible confusion of appearances and phenomena that surrounds them. This order is what people require more than anything else; yes, I would almost say that the notion of order or story is connected with the godhead. Stories are substitutes for God. Or maybe the other way round." -- Wim Winders
