buy or steal the code from http://www.ibiblio.org/xml/books/xmljava/ (it 
works fine)

i just wrote some code to find the xpath to each attribute in a doc using 
jdom starting with the code above. it took a bit of coding and a few 
collections and maps to get the subscripts right. was there an easier way 
or did i reinvent a wheel?

thanks

p.s. nice servlet books, working on 3'rd edition i hope?
