Hi,

You need to look at saxon (an XML package for Java).
What you're trying to do is pretty common, you should find a ton of examples on the Internet - otherwise let me know and I'll direct you to some good sites.

What are you using for XML parsing? If it is a SAX or event based parser, then when you come across an ahref attribute, you should be able to open a new Document object for the other file, and parse that one as well.
