Response *is* the root element.

	Element oEleResponse = doc.getRootElement();

However, I recommend using XPath. In your case, you could simply
do:

    import org.jdom.xpath.XPath;
	
    ...

    List l = XPath.selectNodes(doc, "/Response/InboundMessage");
    for (Iterator iter = l.iterator(); iter.hasNext();) {
       Element e = (Element)iter.next();
       String ticket = e.getChildTextTrim("Ticket");
       ..
       ..
    }

You can also precompile the XPath expression if speed is essential and
this operation is frequent.
