I have a xml file like this. I need to convert this xml file into java object using JAXB. Because of nested tags, I couldn't perform the operation. Please suggest me a solution for this

What collection interface are you looking for? Map?List? Check this : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10598250/how-to-convert-string-xml-to-mapstring-string — Sandeep, May 05 '16 at 07:05

  DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
  DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
  InputSource is = new InputSource( new StringReader( xmlString) );
  Document doc = builder.parse( is );

  XPathFactory factory = XPathFactory.newInstance();
  XPath xpath = factory.newXPath();
  xpath.setNamespaceContext(new PersonalNamespaceContext());
  XPathExpression expr = xpath.compile("//src_small/text()");

  Object result = expr.evaluate(doc, XPathConstants.NODESET);
  NodeList nodes = (NodeList) result;
  List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
  for (int i = 0; i < nodes.getLength(); i++) {
      list.add (nodes.item(i).getNodeValue());
      System.out.println(nodes.item(i).getNodeValue());
