Reg:Design

Question

Hi all i wan to whether the right approach for the design is corerct.
this is wat my input xml going to be
<xpTransactions>
<transList>
<xpTrans name="ADD_AG">
           <childTrans>ADD_ED</childTrans>
           <childTrans>ADD_CD</childTrans>
</xpTrans>
<xpTrans name="ADD_ED">
                < actionIntf>add_r</actionIntf>
                <actionIntf>add_ml</actionIntf>
                   <actionIntf>sub_mlk</actionIntf>
</xpTrans>
<xpTrans name="ADD_CD">
                    <actionIntf>add_rkm</actionIntf>
                     <actionIntf>sub_mlcd</actionIntf>
                    <actionIntf>sub_mlki</actionIntf>
</xpTrans>
</transList>
</xpTransactions >input to the java program will be xpTrans name so for eg when the input is ADD_AG i need to check whether it has any child and if it is then nee to get all the elements underneath it ..so in this case we have two chils elements so the output should be
ADD_AG
ADD_ED
         add_r
          add_ml
         sub_mlk
Add_CD
        add_rkm
       sub_mlcd
        sub_mlkiwhen the input is goin to be ADD_ED ( this does not have any child so )the output is
ADD_ED
add_r
add_ml
sub_mlk
planning to use Jdom and create a tree structure and then store each node and its contents in alist ...is this approach corerct . after storing it in a list how do i associate ie check that it has chils or not .
or is is possible to produce a tree structure with above xml like
add_AG ->ADD_ED->add_r ......
|
Add_cd -> add_rkm ..... etc
or shld i use saX parse it..what is the right approach to take ..thanks for the help
