Hi himan,
Have you solved it?

I recommend using XMLBeans from apache to read the xml.

Yeah, you have to read the tutorial and try yourself but at the end you'll
enjoy the way XMLBeans handles the xmls files.

Have a look at this tutorial: http://xmlbeans.apache.org/documentation/tutorial_getstarted.html

Have fun.

Himan,

As long as you pass a well-formed XML, any XML parser, such as DOM, SAX, etc. can parse it.

I'm not sure you deal here with well-formed XML. Got the following message from IE when trying to view your data (after introducing a root element) -

A semi colon character was expected.

BTW, do you pass plain HTML in the response?

Regards,
Dan
