Re: Reg Xml Parsing

hi iam new to java and jdom parsing.my imput is user passes the xml
file and a string (string is not a tag in xml its a attribute value).i
need to look for the string in the xml file and get all its child
attributes .my xml looks like

<Trs>
     <cetTra>
            <xName>"jeff"</xName>
                     <child>pat</child>
                     <child>sush</child>
                     <Delay>
               <timeSec>60</timeSec>
               <retry>1</retry>
     </Delay>
        </cetTra>

      <cetTra>
            <xName>"kumsa"</xName>
                     <child>sac</child>
                     <child>ed</child>
                     <Delay>
               <timeSec>5</timeSec>
               <retry>10</retry>
     </Delay>
        </cetTra>

  </Trs>

my quesion is how to get only the the contents based on attribute
.Input string will be jeff i need to get the contents only for jeff .my
code looks like

List passedStringList = root.getChildren("CetTra");
Iterator i = passedStringList.iterator();
      while (i.hasNext()) {
        Element serv= (Element) i.next();
        out.print("\t" + serv.getChild("xName")
                                .getText());
