Node Constants

Question

Hi all,
Im fairly new to XML so prob a simple question:
I have the following method which takes in a node, and IF that node is a Node.ELEMENT_NODE then the code traverses the Node getting the Child Nodes & prints them out.
Does that mean that ELEMENT_NODE constant within the Node interface is considered as the root node? Ideally I would like a doc which shows the order of Nodes to diagramatically show the "Node Tree Heriarchy".
private void traverse (Node node) {
int type = node.getNodeType(); //This is returning ELEMENT_NODE
if (type == Node.ELEMENT_NODE) //This is true so do a whole lot more processing below
Thanks for any help,

Answer 1

The root node is obtained with
Document document;
Element element=document.getDocumentElement();
