import org.apache.xerces.parsers.DOMParser;

...

try {
  DOMParser parser = new DOMParser();

  parser.parse( "test.xml"); 
       
  Document document = parser.getDocument();

} catch (SAXException e) {
  e.printStacktrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
  e.printStacktrace();

  • Need to reference a specific DOM Parser in the code.
