Do you mean that you don't know the tag name or what?

Are you reading the XML document into a DOM? If so you could probably use XPath statements to extract the text. See the standard Java library javax.xml.xpath package (since Java 1.5).

(This really sounds like a homework assignment to me now that I think about it.)
