Trouble with parsing

Question

I'm very new at XML parsing, so hopefully I'm just missing something obvious here. I'm using Xerces to parse ECU definitions for a tunining application. For some reason, it seems the parser is skipping over nested nodes. Here's an example of the XML layout:
<rom>
   <romid>
   <table>
</rom>I'm using a println to print the names of the nodes, and I only get "rom" printed to the console, with none of the child nodes. Here's a piece of my unmarshaller:
    public Rom unmarshallRom (Node rootNode) {
     Rom rom = new Rom();
     Node n;
     NodeList nodes = rootNode.getChildNodes();
     for (int i=0 ; i<nodes.getLength(); i++) {
         n = nodes.item(i);
         if (n.getNodeType() == Node.ELEMENT_NODE) {               
                System.out.println(n.getNodeName());               
          if (n.getNodeName().equals("romid")) {
              rom.setRomID(unmarshallRomID(n));
          } else {
              // unexpected element in Rom (skip)
         } else {
          // unexpected node-type in Rom (skip)
     return rom;
    }My webhost is down or I'd supply the source. Any help would be appreciated.

Use this loop to access child elemnts....
public static void stepThrough(Node start)
SOP(start.getNode() + "=" +start.getValue());
for(Node child=start.getFirstChild();
child != null;
child=child.getNextSibling())
stepThroug(child);
Hope this will help u..........
