Java & xml Problem

[Brian Terry]

I am new in Java. And asking for help.
The problem is to parse the XML doc and search the parse tree for the
value and then print path to it.
For instance:
XML document:
<1>
<2>
<3>value1</3>
<4>value2</4>
</2>
</1>
c:\ java XMLParser doc.xml value1
path is: 1 -> 2 -> 3

c:\ java XMLParser doc.xml value2
The path is: 1 -> 2 -> 4
Have any ideas?
Thanks for attention

So you want us to give you the code??

Maybe you could try it yourself first.

Ok,
i am using dom4j. And have such error:
'Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoCla ssDefFoundError :
org/dom4j/io/DOMReader'. Can u help me to solve it? The code is here:

import org.dom4j.Docum ent;
import org.dom4j.Node;
import org.dom4j.io.DO MReader;

import javax.xml.parse rs.DocumentBuil der;
import javax.xml.parse rs.DocumentBuil derFactory;
import java.util.Itera tor;
import java.util.List;

public class TestSearch {

public static void main(String[] args)
throws Exception {
if (args.length < 2) {
System.out.prin tln("usage: TestSearch file value");
System.exit(0);
}
// parse a DOM tree
DocumentBuilder Factory factory =
DocumentBuilder Factory.newInst ance();
DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocu mentBuilder();
org.w3c.dom.Doc ument domDocument = builder.parse(a rgs[0]);

// Now convert to DOM4J model
DOMReader reader = new DOMReader();
Document document = reader.read(dom Document);

// List nodes with search value
List nodes = document.select Nodes("//*[starts-with(., '" + args[1] +
"')]");
for (Iterator it = nodes.iterator( ); it.hasNext();) {
Node node = (Node) it.next();
if (node.getText() .equals(args[1])) {
System.out.prin tln(node.getPat h());
}
}

}

}

Make sure to include dom4j on the classpath.
