How to retrieve a node using xpath in java

Yes i know that i'll need to store the file.

But my XML is fixed and the same XML is used everytime.

Now the structure of the XML is like it has same named nodes inside the parent node.

example :

<Human>

<Person>

<Person></Person>

<Person>

<Person><name>fsfsdsdf</name></Person>

</Person>

</Person>

<Human>

Now if the user selects the person node which contains name node then how to get the XPATH.

Can u help regarding the same........

Thanx Man.

I know that XML is not to be used in this way but somehow its the

constraint of the application that i have to implement the same.

Its like that on click of a button a static xml is shown and user must be able to see the xml so as to see the values and everything associated to the xml nodes.

Now when the user selects the particular node then i need to track the xpath of the selected node and hence also store the value associated with the node which in turn is a necessity to implement.

I have tried to do same with a handy javascript but its not very relaible

moreover i want to do thru java to make the logic robust

HELP ME...!!!!!
