Hi,
        FileInputStream fileInputStream = null;
        try {
            fileInputStream = new FileInputStream("my_xml_file.xml");
        } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } finally{
            if (fileInputStream == null) return;
        SAXBuilder saxBuilder = new SAXBuilder();
        saxBuilder.setEntityResolver(new EntityResolver() {
            public InputSource resolveEntity(String publicId, String systemId) throws SAXException, IOException {
                return new InputSource(new StringReader(""));
        Document document = null;
        try {
            document = saxBuilder.build(fileInputStream);
        } catch (JDOMException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } finally {
            if (document == null) return;
        Element element = document.getRootElement();
        System.out.println(element.getName());
        System.out.println(element.getChild("table").getName());
