XOM API for Processing XML with Java

["William Fly" <billfly AT programmer.net>]

I am receiving a ParsingException on the following XML file:
<testxml2>
    <carrier>"PHILIP"</carrier>
    <account>"PHILIP ACCT"</account>
      <group>"PHILIP GROUP"</group>
     <member>"PHILIP CHIU 02"</member>
     <number>"5"</number>
</testxml2>
The exception message is The element type "testxml2" must be terminated by 
the matching end-tag "</testxml2>". at line 1, column 11.

using the same Java code which works for the following XML file:
<testxml carrier="PHILIP" account="PHILIP ACCT" group="PHILIP GROUP" 
member="PHILIP CHIU 02" number="5"/>

My Java class follows:
class SboXmlReader implements SboReader {
    Element root;
    Logger sboLog;

    SboXmlReader(String req) {
        Builder parser = new Builder();
        Document doc = null;
        sboLog = Logger.getLogger("SboLogger");
        sboLog.debug("SboXmlReader called with:" + req);
        try {
            doc = parser.build(new StringReader(req));
        } catch (ParsingException e) {
            sboLog.debug("ParsingError in SboXmlReader: " + e.getMessage());
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            sboLog.debug("IOError in SboXmlReader: " + e.getMessage());
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        root = doc.getRootElement();

    } // SboXmlReader

Why should the attribute-based file work, but not the element-base one?

Thanks,
Bill
ps. I am using v1.0d22. and JDK 1.3.1_06.
