is the DOM representation right???

[Yell Srik]

Hi,
i have a xml of the form: (a part of the XML file is as follows

  <choose>
   <elem id="1">D:\My Documents\abc.jpg</elem>
   <elem id="2">D:\My Documents\us.jpg</elem>
   <data id="1">D:\My Documents\data.txt</data>
 </choose>

i have downloaded the Xerces parser for parsing the above file and the
DOM code i am developed for parsing is as follows:

public class BasicDOM()
{
    Public BasicDOM(string xmlfile)
    {
        DOMParser parser = new DOMParser();
        try
        {
            parser.parse("D:\My Documents\xmlfile.xml");//my xml file location
            Document document = parser.getDocument();
            traverse(document);
        } 
        catch (SAXException e) {
            System.err.println (e);
        }
        catch (IOException e) {
            System.err.println(e);
        }
    }
    
    private void traverse(Node node) {
        int type = node.getNodeType();
        if (type == Node.ELEMENT_NODE)
            System.out.println(node.getNodeName());
        NodeList children = node.getChildNodes();
        if (children != null) {
            for (int i = 0; i < children.getLength(); i++) 
                traverse(children.item(i));  
        }
    }

now the parser shows a lot of errors after parsing. i want to
know if the above code is correct? the problem i have is that my XML does not contain simple data values as elements (which i feel can be easily parsed). instead it contains entire file paths as elements and this is the reason i am forced to post this question on this forum.
the above XML file has the entire file path of jpeg images(the user
can select a jpg image from a HTML form etc).
thanks in advance.
Edit: I added UBB CODE blocks in there to help readability

Are you getting compilation errors (or did you just make some typos in the code snippet you posted)?
