Parsing an XML

[cserveny]

Can anyone please help me out. I am trying to parse and XML by using Caster. I do not really understand how it works. I have an xml file with has some tag like these:
<EXPORT>
<SECTION>
<NAME>Client</NAME>
<FILE>1.new</FILE>
<FIELD name="client_shortname" type="CSF" width="?">
<OBJECT name="Client" method="ClientShortName"/>
</FIELD>
</SECTION>
</EXPORT>
When I run the following line of code on the above code it falls over:
Mapping mapping = new Mapping();
mapping.loadMapping("test.xml");
I have looked at some examples on the web and the example codes had tags like: <mapping><description> bla blab bal</description>
<class name="MMMM">
<field name="XXX"> etc
Does this mean that I am only allowed to use these tags above?
Please help me I have been vaisting 4 hrs on this.
Thanks
