I don't need to read complex XML files. I just want to read the following configuration file with a simplest XML reader

<config>
    <db-host>localhost</db-host>
    <db-port>3306</db-port>
    <db-username>root</db-username>
    <db-password>root</db-password>
    <db-name>cash</db-name>
</config>

How to read the above XML file with a XML reader through Java?

I would recommend Commons Digester, which allows you to parse a file without writing reams of code. It uses a series of rules to determine what action is should perform when encountering a given element or attribute (a typical rule might be to create a particular business object).
