While vtd-xml looks interesting, I don't see how it is relevant to the
original question.

If the input really is as trivial as the example, then perhaps just
simply using the SAX api directly would be better.

If the example is a simplified version of the real input to be processed
(or the format might change in future), then Digester is a very good
choice. It can handle the example input, and similar structures. The
digester examples I pointed to show how to do this.

If the java object also has to be written back out to xml, then Betwixt
might be better than Digester, as digester only does xml->object.
However IMO betwixt is more complicated to use, so I would suggest
avoiding it unless two-way mapping really is needed.

Regards,
Simon
