[jdom-interest] creating and parsing files

[Kenneth Ellefsen]

Or even:
<DataSet>
   <user username="user1" password="password1" \>
   <user username="user2" password="password2" \>
</DataSet>

Then use:
String username = element.getAttributeValue("username");
String password = element.getAttributeValue("password");

element representing a <user> element

Cheers
