public class TestePersistenceXML {

	/**
	 * @param args
	 * @throws SAXException 
	 * @throws IOException 
	 */
	public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException, SAXException {
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub
		
		Digester digester = new Digester(); 
		digester.setValidating( false ); 
		
		digester.addObjectCreate( "persistence", ArrayList.class ); 

		digester.addObjectCreate( "persistence/persistence-unit", Persistence.class ); 
		digester.addBeanPropertySetter( "persistence/persistence-unit/description", "description" ); 
		digester.addBeanPropertySetter( "persistence/persistence-unit/provider", "provider" ); 
		
		
        File input = new File( "C:\workspace\TesteJPA\build\classes\META-INF\persistence.xml" ); 
		
		ArrayList c = (ArrayList)digester.parse(input); 
		
		Iterator it = c.iterator();
		
		while (it.hasNext()){
			
			Persistence persistence = (Persistence) it.next(); 
			System.out.print("Descricao   ="+persistence.getDescription()); 
			System.out.print("Provider ="+persistence.getProvider()); 
			System.out.println("	"); 
	     
	    }
		System.out.println("passo 4");
	}
