Question

I would like to read an xml file. I\' ve found an example which is good until the xml element doesn\'t have any attributes. Of course i\'ve tried to look after how could I r

If you're looking purely to obtain attributes (E.g. a config / ini file) I would recommend using a java properties file.

If you just want to read a file create a new fileReader and put it into a bufferedReader.

BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("example.xml"));
