写了一个Java读取XML文件的工具类，做一下笔记！

<style type="text/css"> .CodeFormat {font-family:"Courier New", Courier, mono; font-size:9pt; } </style>如果我们有下面的一个XML文件，可以把它想象成一个Relation Database中的Table， 这个XML文件就是一个名字为managers的关系表，而一个<manager>所包含的就是一条记录(Record)，而manager中的service和implementation就是一个个的栏位(Field) ！

managers table
+	service	implementation
net.csdn.blog.xport.IDBConnectionManager	net.csdn.blog.xport.impl.DBConnectionManagerCommonImpl
net.csdn.blog.xport.IDomainIdentify	net.csdn.blog.xport.impl.DomainIdentifyImpl

所以，在程序中，可以用类似Table Query的方式来读取XML节点(Node)上面的属性值！

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE managers SYSTEM "manager-config.dtd">
<managers>
<manager name="DBConnectionManager" >
<service>net.csdn.blog.xport.IDBConnectionManager</service>
<implementation>net.csdn.blog.xport.impl.DBConnectionManagerCommonImpl</implementation>
</manager>
<manager name="NTAccountIdendify" >
<service>net.csdn.blog.xport.IDomainIdentify</service>
<implementation>net.csdn.blog.xport.impl.DomainIdentifyImpl</implementation>
</manager>
</managers>

按照下面的代码读取：

// 查找以manager作为tag标记，属性中存在name且属性值为"DBConnectionManager"的
// XML节点, 并返回此节点的DOM Element对象！
// 类似name字段为PK值，且name="DBConnectionManager"
managerElement
= XMLFileUtil.findElement(xmlDomContent.getRootElement(),
"manager",
"name",
"DBConnectionManager");
if (managerElement != null) {
//取得Element中的implementation属性对象...
  serviceImplElement = managerElement.element("implementation");
if (serviceImplElement != null) {
//取这个属性的值...
    serviceImplClassString = serviceImplElement.getText();
  }
}
