We are trying to fetch data for this META TAG - using the following XML 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.w3.org/2001/12/soap-envelope MIAL_SOAP_AIDX_Flight_Msg.xsd" xmlns:iata="http://www.iata.org/IATA/2007/00" xmlns:p="http://www.ibm.com/xmlns/transportation/airport/meta" xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2001/12/soap-envelope" encodingStyle="http://www.w3.org/2001/12/soap-encoding">
    <soap:Header>
        <p:Meta>
            <p:SNDR>AODB</p:SNDR>
            <p:TMST>2011-01-10T11:00:00</p:TMST>
            <p:SEQN>25</p:SEQN>
            <p:TYPE>FLSH</p:TYPE>
            <p:SUBT>DALY</p:SUBT>
        </p:Meta>
    </soap:Header>
The code is :
public List<Item> readConfig(String configFile) {
    List<Item> items = new ArrayList<Item>();
    try {
      // First create a new XMLInputFactory
      XMLInputFactory inputFactory = XMLInputFactory.newInstance();
      // Setup a new eventReader
      InputStream in = new FileInputStream(configFile);
      XMLEventReader eventReader = inputFactory.createXMLEventReader(in);
      // Read the XML document
      Item item = null;
      while (eventReader.hasNext()) {
          XMLEvent event = eventReader.nextEvent();
          System.out.println("in while:::");
          if (event.isStartElement()) {
              StartElement startElement = event.asStartElement();
          //added
          if (startElement.getName().getLocalPart() == (Meta)) {
              item = new Item();
 if (event.isStartElement()) {
                  if (event.asStartElement().getName().getLocalPart()
                      .equals(SUBT)) {
                    event = eventReader.nextEvent();
                    item.setSubt(event.asCharacters().getData());
                    continue;
                  }
          if (event.isEndElement()) {
          EndElement endElement = event.asEndElement();
          if (endElement.getName().getLocalPart() == (Meta)) {
            items.add(item);
          }
        }
But i am not getting any output. What can i do?
