How to determine Element-Type ?

Dear J-Parser-Experts,

I have a question refering to the Xerces Java 1 parser.
Is it possible to use this parser in order to determine the type of an
element
of an XML-Document ?
The XML-Document is schema based.
Is there any class or function to get this information ?
Thank you for your efforts and best regards,

Andre Mengel

Yes, if you parse the document to a DOM using a DOMParser you can use the 
Node.getNodeType() on all nodes and compare the returned value with the 
staticlly defined values in Node to determine the type of the node.
