}

public void buildAndListDocument(String filename) throws IOException{
try {
SAXBuilder builder = new SAXBuilder();
Document doc = builder.build(filename);
listElements(doc.getRootElement());
} catch (JDOMException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

private void listElements(Element e) {
System.out.println(e.getText()) ;

List c = e.getChildren();
for (Iterator i = c.iterator();i.hasNext();) {
Element n = (Element)i.next();
listElements(n);
}
}
