rename a childnode in a xml document

i got a problem with a parser.

i want to parse an xml structured like this:

<item>
...
   <notes>
        <item>
        </item>
        <item>
        </item>
   </notes>
</item>

notes is a child of the first item und the other items are childs of notes. if i want to parse this i get the notes as normal items.

i thought it would be simple if i just rename the childs of notes to "noteitem"

is there a simple way to do this in Java?

thank you and sorry for my bad english!

As stated in my comment, if you really want to do what you stated, an XSLT us an option. Just define a style sheet transformation, apply it to the original input document and then parse the results of the transform as XML.

Here is a good starting point: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/jaxp/xslt/transformingXML.html
