import javax.xml.transform.Result;
import javax.xml.transform.Source;
import javax.xml.transform.Transformer;

public class Roopa {

          File docFile = new File("Roopa.xml");
          Document doc = null;
          Document newDoc = null;
          String hname = null, task = null;
          try {
               DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();

          } catch (TransformerConfigurationException e) {
          } catch (TransformerException e) {
The xml files:
roopa.xml:
